	The Pasadena Athletic Association (PAA) is a cycling club of approximately 300 members based in the San Gabriel/San Fernando Valley area centered around Pasadena. Teams have raced under the PAA banner since the 1960’s. Though PAA has primarily been known as a masters racing team, the club has morphed into a broad organization representing all types and levels of riders. PAA has supported the SoCal League from the beginning. Several League founding committee members and current board members come from PAA and PAA members are team founders, coaches, or sponsors of several League clubs. The League has been the designated non-profit beneficiary of PAA since 2010.
