Join the Golden Cycling Club

Here we go... Round three of Schach Therapy!  Gather some friends, community members, or your co-workers and take on the full climb and descent of Mount 7 as a team of 2, 3, or 4. Remember, E-bikes and runners are included, too! This year, we are collaborating with the Golden Skybridge for an evening of music and dancing by Red Haven. Join us overlooking the Columbia Valley for a fabulous evening of good beats and community.   Red Haven is a raucous blend of jazz, roots, and soul from Vancouver, BC, known for their infectious, high-energy performances that encourage the audience to let loose and dance. https://www.redhavenmusic.ca/epk When we move together, we ignite connection and spark a sense of belonging where joy can thrive. Schach Therapy is rooted in community connection and aims to raise awareness around mental health and collective healing. All proceeds go to The Golden Family Center and fund the Drop-in: Single Session Support.  Schach Therapy Tickets: $35 per rider. Music tickets: $15 in advance or $20 cash only at the door.   The Team Relay Breakdown Teams of 2, 3, or 4, climbing and descending Mount 7.  The climb starts at the Reflection Lake parking lot and takes the Schacher Trail to the launch site, then descends the route of your choice.  The Climb: The Schacher 15km The Schacher trail was completed in 2018, providing a single-track trail from town to the Mount 7 launch site.  Local family man Sean Schacher was the inspiration for this trail, and it was the drive of local family man/good-guy-with-superhero-powers Jeremy Harris who made it happen. Both of these 2 local riders now ride along in spirit with you on this ride. Teams can only switch riders/runners out at specific locations: the road crossing at 5.5k, 10k, and the launch. Runners are only allowed to take uphill legs. If one person on your team is on an e-bike, please sign up for the e-bike category.  Leg #1 - 6.0km +538m - Bowle-Evan road - Woodlot ride trail - Schacher to just above the 5km on the Bowle-Evan road.   Leg #2 - 6.3k +500m - Schacher to 10k trail junction.    Leg #3 - 3km +306m - Schacher to launch     The Descent:  Choose Your Adventure From the launch site to the Reflection Lake parking lot. All Riders MUST pass through the checkpoint at 5k, the only location for a rider switch and finish on 5k to the finish at Reflection Lake parking lot. No descending the Schacher, except the section from Summit connection to B52. (ex. if you are taking the summit down to the summit connect to B52 to 5k) It is required for teams to submit their descent route during event plate pickup. We recommend carpooling to shuttle riders to their starting points and ideally having the ascenders drive the vehicles back down to Reflection Lake for the finish.  All teams must check in when all team members are back at the Reflection Lake Parking lot.  To participate, individuals must be at least 12 years old. Or accompanied by an adult at all times  While a GCC membership isn't required, we strongly recommend supporting the club and joining. Get your Golden Cycling Club Membership by clicking here. Every participant must sign the GCC Waiver. GCC Waiver Donations are welcome. To donate to the Golden Family Center, click here. Start getting your teams together!
