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.
