Marlan Williams (far left)

Popeyes Cycle and Sports, was founded by bike shop owner and former Junior Jamaican
cyclist, Marlan Williams, with Annie Lewis as the clubs race organizer. 

Marlan has been involved in the cycling community for 34 years now, since he was 15 years old, making the junior national team for Jamaica at 18 years of age. Since Marlan opened
up his bike shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba in January, 2023, he has been eager to give back
to the cycling community by starting up his own club and adding more races to the
summer event schedule for those avid cyclists here in Manitoba. Marlan aims to do his part for inclusion in cycling in Manitoba. 

Joining Marlan in the running of the club, is Annie Lewis, who has taken on the voluntary  role of race organiser whilst getting involved in various cycling competitions across Canada. 

While Popeyes Cycle and Sports is a newcomer to Manitoba's cycling scene, their goal is to foster the expansion of cycling in the region. They assist cyclists in achieving their goals while ensuring a fun experience!

Popeyes Cycle and Sports looks forward to seeing all you fellow cyclists out riding this summer!

Cycling with Sarah,  Manitoba’s first senior women’s cycling club was founded in 2023 by Liv Ambassador Sarah Gravelle-MacKenzie and co-founder Rose McDonald. Our mission is to help senior women discover or re-discover their joy of cycling. Our goal is to make all senior women feel welcome as well as supported and encouraged. Haven’t cycled in a while - no problem. Aren’t used to riding long distances or times - no problem. Our focus is to help  senior women improve their physical, mental and social well-being. If you want to have fun, feel like a kid again and make new friends we are the club for you! Any style of bike is welcome. We ride at a social pace and all rides are no drop; no one is ever left behind. Our rides start out on bike paths and trails and are between an hour and a hour and a half long ( half way break included). As our season progresses we will head out onto some quieter streets and country roads.
