Welcome
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 (GCC) was created.
Click here for your annual membership.
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.
When you see Ryan, give him a high five. This is our Trail Crew Manager and he is definitely someone who deserves a shout out. Its SO easy to jump on the bike and hit the trails; assuming they were always there. BUT, it is with all the hard work, time and effort from our board, trail crew and VOLUNTEERS (check out our work parties schedule this season), that keep the trails thriving.
Name: Ryan
What is your position here @ the GCC? I am the OPS Manager/ Trail Crew Lead
How long have you been with the board? I joined the board in 2011 and became an employee in 2020.
What is your favourite trail in Golden? LSD
What is your favourite thing about the GCC? The amount of volunteer work that has gone into our trails in both maintaining and advocating events.
Highlight of 2024? How much it rained and helped keep our trails tacky. ( except July )
Shuttle or Pedal? PEDAL
Fav GCC Event? Thanksgiver
THANK YOU RYAN. For your hard work, dedication and passion. ... See MoreSee Less

I’ve tried to sign my daughter up and pay for the course and her youth membership but I keep getting an error message. If someone could reach out to let me know how I can pay it would be greatly appreciated
Golden Cycling Club is there an email I can connect with someone about this?
Golden Cycling Club and Moon Cycle have been cooking up something pretty exciting during these past few cold months.
This Fall we will be holding the first ever Equinox Bike Fest. All time-fall time dirt, friends, festivities, competition and riding stoke as high as the mountain tops surrounding us. What's not to love?
Stay tuned throughout the next week as we continue sharing more information about this new and exciting weekend of fun and frivolities.

We have an incredible trail network here in Golden and it takes a team to make it as incredible as it is. If you truly want to make change and be part of something you love, dive in and be part of the work.
Being the Social Media Director has allowed me to increase my respect and love for cycling. To watch all the volunteers and other Directors work their butts off all year around to keep something we all love alive and thrive has truly been humbling.
I have been on the board since Nov 2024. My favourite experience of the GCC has literally been watching the hours and effort every single person dedicates to this trail network and watching growth in the cycling community. And selfishly, the more work we all put in, the more I get to enjoy it.
My favourite event last year was the Schach Therapy race because I love the climb and having fun suffering with friends.
My favourite trail in Golden is 100% The entire Schacher climb. .. then tackle Summit on the way down.
I am looking forward to the Golden 50 XC race this year and cannot wait to share all our exciting events with all of you !!!!
Stay Tuned !!!! Woohoo ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you Dave for all that you do!
Thanks Dave, you modest soul.
@goldencyclingclub supports and promotes safety. Bicycle helmets reduce the risk of head injuries and fatalities.
Remember, a good helmet is an investment in your safety, so take the time to choose wisely and ride safely.
Put your bucket on and enjoy the ride!!!! #gccsponsor
