It was in August 2017 when a few passionate cyclists of Margao mulled on the idea of starting a Cycling Club with a difference! Realising the benefits of this sport as a fitness go-to activity along with the potential it would offer young citizens of the State.
The idea was to make it more accessible to a larger part of the Goan community, and the Xaxti Riders Club under the able leadership of Architect Sameer Nadkarni of Margao came into existence with a formal launch on 01 October 2017 at a ceremony attended by the entire cycling community of Goa and an inaugural ride on 02 October on occasion of Gandhi Jayanti .
Xaxti Riders also partners with Government department organized rallies to promote causes like FitIndia and on occasions like International Yoga Day, World Diabetes Day etc. besides wholly supporting organisations like Rotary on World Polio Day. Special rides are organized on the Club Anniversary which is celebrated on 02 October as well as on Independence Day and Republic Day.
