2011 GVBC Day Touring Schedule
.
Our tours are non-competitive and are open to anyone, but all riders are required to sign a liability waiver and roster for each event (There is no fee for rides this year. GVBC will cover the insurance costs). Forms are available at every ride. Two rides (June 17th and August 14th) are held on a Sunday. Tours are open to riders of all abilities, and although most of the tours are on roads, any type of bike can be ridden (mountain bikes, cross bikes, etc). Additional details and a map/elevation profile are sent out approximately one week prior to each ride. Be sure to join our email list to receive the information, or write to the contact listed for each ride.
