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.

Grooming Update: Dec 28th 2025
We have received a lot of fresh snow this week. Please make sure to have low PSI
(Tire PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is the air pressure in your tires) when biking. This will really help reduce ruts with the fresh grooming. MASSIVE thank you to our volunteers who have again put in the hours this week, especially during the holidays. Give your GCC volunteers a high five when you see them.
We also encourage and love seeing people who have snow shoes, hardening the track as it really helps us form some long lasting trails throughout the winter season. We love it to be compact. :D
This week we would love to shoutout to some of our amazing sponsors who help us build, maintain and groom our trails over the year.
Mistaya Lodge Mistaya Lodge Join them at their helicopter access backcountry lodge in the Canadian Rocky Mountains for alpine hiking in the summer, or guided ski touring in untouched powder in the winter.

I have been told they have spent the entire weekend working hard to have some perfect trails set. guess they are both hard working elves.

Analogue blkes or at least two categories?
That was sooooo fun
ITS GONE 🥲
Over the years, I am sure we have all had a joke, a comment or a nostalgic memory of the old camper, sitting in the gully of Selkirk Slacker.
It has been removed in part of the Wildfire Safety Work and we thank everyone for their patience while we tidy up Rodeo Drive around where the camper was removed.
Goodbye camper, you will be missed. 🥹

Oh no!! We called that Trailer Trash corner and used it to landmark all the time!
I always thought it woulda been a good coffee shop 🤣
It’s funny how we fix this faster than we fix the derelict buildings in town that are also a fire danger. Yay!
