2012 GVBC Day Touring Schedule
.
Our tours are non-competitive and are open to GVBC members. All riders are required to sign a liability waiver for each event (there is no fee for rides). Forms are available at every ride. Due to new insurance policies, all riders MUST be GVBC members. Two rides (July 22nd and August 12th) 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 and are posted on the website. Be sure to join our email list to receive the information, or write to the contact listed for each ride. pdf of schedule available here.
