2009 GVBC Biking Season Slideshow


New "Photos from Afar" Page!
Send Amy (achiuchiolo@montana.edu) cycling pictures from your travels afar. You don't have to be wearing GVBC attire, but thanks to Doug for starting off the page with a photo in the GVBC kit from New Zealand!

GVBC Mtn Bike Trail Work Days
Last year the Leverich trail was re-routed to improve the fishery. On the suggestion of the Forest Service and Bozeman Ranger District, GVBC adopted this trail, and is now in charge of managing at least the downhill portion of the loop.  

GVBC will hold 3 trail work days this spring, centered around National Trails Day, June 6th. We will need ample volunteers to provide the manpower, so please come on out and help with trail work on one, two, or all three, of these days! 

Sunday May 31 - Saturday June 6 - Saturday June 13

Food and drinks will be provided by GVBC. Click here for more details.

Thanks to all the volunteers who came out to help at the SWAP!
It was the most successful SWAP ever, and things went very smoothly thanks to all the volunteers! We especially want to thank Murdoch’s for the computer and tech support, which made everything run very smooth. Also a big thanks to Crema Roasting for supplying coffee to keep all the volunteers on their toes, and to the guys from the Bike Kitchen for lending bike support during the entire swap event!

for supporting GVBC

Welcome from the Club...  

 When the club talks about the many, many week-long tours we’ve done in our lives, we always talk about how great it has 

 been  to meet other cyclists on trips across Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and, of course, Montana.  Biking to

 us is about fun and socializing with other cyclists. While we all will go on many solo rides as we get ready for a big event, or

 just ride alone for the sheer solitude it provides, there is nothing as fun to us as getting together with a group of cyclists to ride

 and discuss the joys of biking.  During this year, we hope to bring more of these types of cycling events to GVBC.


 GVBC is about all cycling so we are excited to have a number of tours planned for this summer, to continue the race series,

 and to introduce the new mountain biking arm of the GVBC, the Gallatin Ridge Riders (GRR). Yes, we tour, we race, we

 mountain bike – GVBC is big enough for all of these, but remember GVBC is your club.  Please help us make it what you’d

 like it to be.
