What we’re about
Join SBC/GVCC and get more out of cycling both physically and emotionally with a group of passionate cyclists who ride for fun and camaraderie. Get a good workout, maintain a hobby that includes socializing, the outdoors, and share inspiration by riding with a group who love cycling. We aim to bring together those who share our passion for cycling and meeting new people. All levels are welcomed.
GVCC has been a non-profit bicycle club since the 1970's supporting bicycling advocacy and giving back to the community either through volunteer work or financial aid to various local agencies. If you would like to become or renew your membership for a minimum contribution of $25.00 click here GVCC Member Status. All funds collected will cover the annual GVCC club costs, including meetup/insurance/LAB and other incidentals. Your contribution entitles you to full GVCC benefits, discounts at some local bicycle shops, participation in group out of town rides, insurance coverage while on a club ride and a chance to give back to your community. Contributions are per member. ANSI-SNELL approved bicycle helmets are required on all club rides.
