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.

I’d love to sign my son up. I tried to register but I am not able to add it to my cart. Am I doing something ? Thank you 😊

Big thanks to our friends on the hill @kickinghorsemtn for being a #gccsponsor

Make sure to check out the FreerideWorldTour happening this February in the heart of British Columbia’s Purcell Mountains, a place where rugged peaks and deep powder create the perfect playground for freeride enthusiasts. The atmosphere here is always electric, with passionate crowds and athletes ready to push their limits. Kicking Horse has become a highlight of the tour, known for its challenging terrain, breathtaking views, and the high-energy performances that make it one of the most exhilarating stops of the season.

We want to thank all our volunteers, members, racers and friends who joined us for our 2025 Phat Burner Race. Even though the temperatures starting down Scallimag trail were freezing, the trail conditions were 10/10 perfecto and we could not have ask for a more sunny day.

This race was a strong down country start, followed by a fun, flow trail and climb to warm up until the finish. The Hot chocolate, the bikes and the stories are why we do these awesome events.

See you all next year.

Awesome event people. Thank you!

Ah Julie Colk crushing it

Let's meet our Executive Director Kelly Cytko

Over the winter season, it is a great time to see the hard working people who actually are the reason we have trails here in Golden AND how they keep growing, being maintained and groomed.

How long have you ben on the board?
1. I volunteered to assist the Board for 2 years before joining the Board for 2 years before becoming the Executive Director for the past year and a half!

What is your favourite trail?
2. Fave trail: Hard to pick a fave!! I love them all for many different reasons...but let's go with Magic dragon :) It's flowy, fun, and the updated woodwork is awesome!

What is your favourite part of the GCC?
3. My favorite thing about the GCC is all the fun events that we put on, bringing all different people out to enjoy the network together. I hope we can keep expanding our programs and bringing out even more people to enjoy these trails with us!

Highlight of 2024?
4. Highlight of 2024 - 25th Anniversary of Psychosis - What a trip it was, organizing the event. It was a whirlwind, and one of the more challenging things I've done in my life with very little event planning background, but it was very rewarding to see it come to fruition and see all the smiling faces on the day of the event.

Shuttle or Pedal?
5. Both

Fav event?
6. Movie night haha ;)

Loooove her

Welcome Doug Parkinson to the team who is the Director of Moonrakers/CBT.

When were you elected to the board?
- Just was elected onto the board as the CBT/Moonrakers director in Sept. 2024

what is your favourite trail?
- Favourite trail varies throughout each riding season but currently Chewbacca Rocka in Cranbrook comes to mind. Fast & flowy but with some fun technical climbing & descending sprinkled in to spice things up. Locally it is really hard to choose just one but I have to go with Moonraker. I usually find myself going there just to shut the brain off, forget about the brakes & let things fly

Whats your favourite part of GCC?
- Best part of GCC is how awesome the trail network is that they have developed & maintained in Golden. You dont realize how lucky we are until you visit other top biking areas & Golden is just as good or better than those networks. I also really enjoy the events like Furious 5 for the social aspect & Schach Therapy which raises money for a great local cause

Highlight of 2024
- Highlight of 2024 was living vanlife with Monica for a month around Moab & Fruita in March/April. Just never seem to get tired of the red rock desert landscape. Did lots of biking, hiking & exploring while camping throughout Utah & Colorado. Also did my first 3 day stage race...Moab Rocks!
