In the mountain town of Golden, BC we understand that biking is fun. Serious fun. We have four trail networks and a bike park to prove it. Building and maintaining these networks takes some serious effort – physical, spiritual and administrative. That is why the Golden Cycling Club was created.
The Golden Cycling Club builds, maintains, and advocates for trails in and around Golden, BC. We manage four networks of multi-use trails where all maintenance is carried out by our dedicated trail crew and volunteers. We also work closely with the Town of Golden, private land managers, indigenous groups, the local community, and RSTBC to maintain over 100km of trail.

With gratitude, the Golden Cycling Club would like to acknowledge that the trails we recreate on are on the homelands of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc people and the chosen home of the Metis Nation Columbia River Society.

Well, who’s been waiting for that Closed sign to come down from the Tailgate Road Gap?! Good news — it’s all done! Complete with a downramp for those who aren’t into "gapping.” This is exciting for so many reasons — you can SEND IT or ride it chill, all while avoiding any conflict with users on the road. It’s a huge improvement to the network and something we’re really proud of. 🙌
A massive shoutout to Canadian Timberframes for donating all the lumber that made this project possible. To Brad Lorriman, who volunteered his entire week to the build — thank you for your time and commitment to this project and the GCC!
Huge thanks as well to Robson from our Trail Crew for all the head-scratching angles and precision cuts that brought it to life, and to the rest of the crew for the finishing touches that made it perfect.
The feedback from riders has been awesome — everyone’s loving it! Trails like this are built by our community, for our community. 💛

We found our tailgate today! Thanks everyone who replied! Stay tuned for sign up date.
In search of an old truck tail gate for the sign. Ideally a small 1/4 ton truck tailgate. The older and rustier the better! Get a hold of us at the GCC if you have one!
Oh!! Maybe!! Pete Beets??
☕Can you handle this Brew?
Before you hit 10K, you're gonna need to get your bean on. Nothing starts your day better than a pedal over to @ethoscafe.golden . They are not your average joe. Quality food to fuel/refuel for your ride and most of all, Ex-presso yourself with a ☕ caffeine hit to help you pedal up to 10K.... you'll need it.
Major shout out to @ethoscafe.golden for supporting @goldencyclingclub and being passionate and active users on our trails. We see you!! :D
It's just a shot in the dark, but your daily grind should include some Livin’ la vida mocha from @ethoscafe.golden and laps on 10K.

Good beans and trails make for happy pedlars 🚴🏿☕️
🧐The season isn't over yet. We still have quite the busy trail crew this week:
Our trails are getting quite the makeover throughout this beautiful autumn season.
🕵️What have our trail crew been up to?
🥸Southern end of North Star and Kobe's cutblocks brushed.
🤤The rock to wood feature on Huff and Puff was widened.
🤗Upper Goldrush was rebuilt by hand and machine and should be finished soon. Photos to follow.
😀A reroute on Dam Bypass was begun to eliminate the skid road section. This is ongoing and should be ready for next spring.
Updates on Goldrush, soon to come. Stay tuned.
We'd also love to take the opportunity to shout out a few local businesses, firstly Derailed Sports - a great spot to head to for all of your biking needs, and secondly Golden Electrical Contracting LTD a great to place for all of your electrical needs. Thanks for being incredible sponsors and supporters of the Golden Cycling Club.
Thank you so much.

Heads up, trail users! 🌲
The woodlot next to upper Canyon Creek — between the entrance off Talus Road and LSD — will begin harvesting operations on October 16th.
✅ LSD will remain open
⚠️ Signs will be posted along the affected section of trail.
🚜 The contractor will take care to avoid unnecessary trail damage.
We value our strong relationships with local stakeholders and appreciate the ability to work together to responsibly manage the trails that so many of us enjoy.
Thanks for your understanding and for respecting any posted signage while this work takes place. Let us know if you have any questions. ... See MoreSee Less

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Poker Ride yesterday! What started in the rain turned into a perfect fall morning on the trails.
The crepes were a hit, the prizes were next-level, and with GCC thanksgiver gifts a-flowing, everyone came out a winner. We wrapped up the day with a BBQ and backyard fire, sharing laughs and stories from another great ride.
A massive shout-out to John Denham for the time, energy, and passion you put into making this event happen — it wouldn’t be possible without you. 🙌 ... See MoreSee Less
