I am excited to introduce myself as the new Interim Executive Director of Roanoke Star Cycling. My name is Michael Clark (you can call me Mike) and I’ve spent the past 25 years working for parks, recreation, and cultural agencies, most recently as Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Roanoke. It is an honor to step into this role and work alongside such a passionate and dedicated community.
Our mission at Roanoke Star Cycling is to promote high quality instruction to youth cycling at both a competitive and non-competitive level. We strive to teach the importance of teamwork, community, goal setting, and fostering a healthy lifestyle in a supportive, fun, and safe environment. We believe cycling has the power to strengthen minds and bodies while promoting a sense of community and belonging. We are committed to creating a positive and supportive environment for all our athletes, and I am excited to build on the strong foundation that has already been established. You can read more about our growing community on our brand new website at RoanokeStarCycling.org.
As we embark on this new chapter, my primary goal is to ensure that every rider has a fulfilling and enriching experience, whether they are new to the sport or seasoned competitors. Inclusion is very important to me so I believe in open communication and collaboration, and I am eager to hear your ideas and feedback as we work together to continue growing our program.
Our fall season is here and rosters can be viewed through your TeamSnap account. You’ll be receiving an email from your child’s coach over the next few days, if you haven’t already. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s roster placement, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My phone number is 540.915.7272 and my email address is mike.clark@roanokestarcycling.org.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to Roanoke Star Cycling. I look forward to meeting each of you in the coming weeks and working together to inspire our young riders to reach new heights.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how we can further support our athletes, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Best regards,
Michael Clark
Interim Executive Director
