Exec Meeting Minutes - January

Golden Cycling Club
In the mountain town of Golden, BC we understand that biking is fun. Serious fun. What this means is to be able to build and maintain one of the most fragrant biking trail potpourris on the planet for the sure fun of biking takes some serious effort - physical, spiritual and administrative.
That is why the Golden Cycling Club (GC2) was created. Building bike trails on multi-use, multi-jurisdictional land takes community dedication and a loud political voice. The volume of that voice is directly proportional to its size. This means GC2 needs you to join to increase our clout and ability to keep the dirt ribbons that bundle this gift of health and happiness intact, well-maintained and wicked good. You don't have to live in Golden to be a GC2 member. You just have to appreciate it is here awaiting your next visit. There is also a 'donate' button at the foot of this page and donation drop boxes at some trailheads if you prefer to contribute anonymously. Money helps too.
In addition to meeting all of your biking needs, local bike shops, Golden Gear & Exchange, Derailed Cycle, Summit Cycle and Selkirk Sports, can provide you with trail maps and GC2 information. You'll also find GC2 stuff at several other friendly local merchants, such as Darkside.
Golden features trailside camping for both the Mount 7 (right in town) and Moonraker (7km south of town) areas, in addition to a bunch of well-priced hotels. There is lots of good coffee and eats around, and a healthy live music scene in the summer. More info on accommodations, places to eat and other activities can be found at Tourism Golden.
Come join the revolution!
