The club offers a variety of rides from monthly newcomer rides to tougher tours up the local hills. Check the calendar and come ride with us!

Although many of us wear colorful biker clothes and have road bikes, we are tourers, not racers. Our greatest passion, and perennial source of discussion, is safety on the roads — how routes can be configured for better bike safety and how bikers can make wise riding choices to maximize safety.

While it is true that some GVCC members enjoy chasing down younger race kit-clad speedsters, club rides are cooperative, not competitive..

Non-members are always welcome to come meet club members and try our rides out. Check the calendar and join us.
