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.

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.

🚴🚵🏃What a great weekend was had by all a few weeks back, riding up Schacher and then descending down Mt7.

Stories were told, laughs were shared and trails were enjoyed. Schach Therapy is quickly becoming an annual highlight of the Golden events calendar.

👏 Thanks to everyone who volunteered, to @whitetoothbrew for hosting in the evening and a special thanks to Julie Marshall for putting so much effort into organising the whole day. 👏

🫣 We realized that we we didn't post the results - so without any further delay, swipe through and you'll find them. - 10 points if you notice the 1 mistake.

Organizing your bike ride for July 8th 🚵?

🚴Notifying everyone of bridge work being conducted on July 8th. This is important if you are planning your ride and/or in a time crunch throughout the day.

🚴Between 7:00AM and 17:00PM, the bridge will be closed with 10 min openings on the hour.
(8:00, 9:00, 10:00, ... , 16:00)
🚴Traffic will be allowed to flush if train delays coincide with the openings.
🚴Emergency vehicles will be able to cross without delay.

🚴‍♀️The Ministry of Transportation & Transit (MoTT) will be inspecting the Dogtooth bridge superstructure which requires workers to close the bridge to inspect properly.

This event will be on DriveBC. Emcon has placed signboards at the structure for the public.

Keeping you informed

🫁🦵WOW, What A Day 🥹🫶

Let's have an incredible recap, shall we....

🤯26 teams participated = over 70 people
😍As a community, we raised $2000 for the Golden Family Center.
🙌A great community collaboration with Kicking Horse Culture, Golden Rotary Club and Golden Family Center.
😎Huge thank you to the Brewery for hosting the art installations and evening social. It was a great night
🤗Thank you to Ethos for supplying lunches to the Volunteers.
🫂Thank you to everyone who participated and volunteered. We are already excited for next year.

One of many testimonials:

"Participating in the Schach Therapy race this year was a highlight of my summer so far.
I have always coped with stress by spending time outside - often, I go ride my bike. The race organizers' acknowledgement of those who couldn't ride with us that day was a powerful moment. It made me reflect on how many of my own friends and family have struggled with mental health challenges. I was reminded of how important it is to bring that fact to light, normalize and destigmatize having a mental health condition, and bring awareness to coping strategies. The reality is that every one of us will struggle at some point.

As I walked slowly past the art installations at the Brewery that night in which people reflected on a prompt that addressed what "you do when you feel sad" - I realized that many other Goldenites cope through the same means that I do. We tend to reach for human connections via our pre-existing support networks, and get out in nature. The entire event embodied and supported those concepts. The Shach therapy race brought our small community together and fostered connections between people all through riding bikes. How rad is that". ☝️

I really look forward to next year's race.

Thank you! This continues to be such an incredible place and space for connection!

We have been asked about Table Mountain since this week's Trail Crew update... so here's the answer!

After being closed for several years due to the Highway 1 twinning project, the Table Mountain hiking trail is back in action. The Golden Cycling Club Trail Crew recently cleared deadfall and pruned the trail to improve access and enjoyment for everyone who loves to get outside. Look up Table Mountain on www.goldenhikes.ca

Thanks to support from the CSRD and the Golden Trail Alliance, we are able to take on trail projects that benefit a wide range of users — not just riders. Did you know, the Trail Crew generally does one or two projects like this per year?!

💡 Got suggestions for other trail improvements around Golden? We’d love to hear them.

🙌 A special thank-you this week to two of our awesome sponsors:
- Sawtooth Tree Management (who helped us clear the trail and train up our crew on chainsaw use!)
- The Island Restaurant (for feeding bikers after all these years!)
Your support helps keep trail projects like this going strong!

Hiked it yesterday and it is in excellent condition. Thanks to the clearing crew and the cycling club commitment. Amazing views up on Navvy Peak.

It's gnarly descent! Good luck

I put a lot of hours into that trail 20 plus years ago clearing deadfall stacking rocks etc. glad it’s still getting maintained.

Legend Shoutout!!!😎

🧐Sometimes a simple post about 25 people working on their cornering skills.... is pretty good news :D Last night had an awesome turnout and some decent dirt thrown in the air.

🙌We are always grateful to the legends who make biking awesome and bring community together. 🌈Andy Andy Bostock

Have an epic weekend everyone and enjoy the trails.

Time flies when you're riding bikes!
Can you believe the 25th anniversary of Psychosis was already a year ago? A huge thanks to everyone who brought that iconic race back to life!

⛏ Trail Crew Update
Here's what our hardworking crew tackled last week:

📣 Schacher Trail got some serious love — raked, pruned, and repaired just in time for Schach Therapy!
📣 Years of blowdown cleared off Table Mountain with some heavy chainsaw work 💪 ... time to go check it out!
📣 Upper CBT trails pruned and running smooth
📣 Fresh tread work on Erich’s Trail to keep the Mt. 7 dream alive

🔥 Huge thanks to our awesome local sponsors:
This week we are recognizing Rocky Mountain Chimney Sweeps and Columbia Valley Credit Union — your support keeps us rolling. 🙌
