Who We Are and Our Why:
The Goleta Valley Cycling Club (GVCC) is a recreational and sport touring association committed to promoting safety, health, and fitness through the shared social activity of bicycling.
Furthermore, the members acknowledge a responsibility to share our sport, our experience, and our aforesaid commitment as a group with the larger community in which we live. The GVCC endorses bicycling advocacy and maintains membership in: The League of American Bicyclists (LAB), California Association of Bicycle Organizations, The Bicycle Ride Directors Association of America, and The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition. Most local bicycle shops and athletic apparel specialists extend discounts to GVCC members.
All members are encouraged to participate regularly in club activities and to always wear an ANSI-SNELL approved bicycle helmet.

Stuff like…
Creating a better life for you and your loved ones…
Making an impact on the world…
Fulfilling your potential…
Leaving a legacy for your family…
If I’ve learned one thing in cycling, it’s this:
Once you get clear on your WHY, there’s nothing that can stand in your way.
My warmest regards,
