Events

We've opened a few spots! Get registered ASAP :) And please note, the course has changed due to the wildfires that were happening north of town. We made a change that involves racing on the West Bench trails and the Dogtooth FSR which will look a bit more like this: Long route: ~90 km with 1,800 m of elevation gain  https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/514035771 Short route: ~40 km with 900m of elevation gain. https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/514034814   Put your skinny (but not that skinny) tires on, because the Golden Cycling Club, in collaboration with Golden Gravel, are bringing you the graveliest, heart pumpingest, but most beautiful route in the greater Golden area. Choose between two distances -- the moderate, but still challenging 40km race, or the all out, certainly not glacially paced, 108km route. Cool off this summer with the all new Blaeberry Blast!   The Course The course is still being nailed down, but expect stunning views, amazing gravel, and the friendliest dusty-calved folks you've ever ridden with.     Categories Women and Men's Open 108km Women and Men's Open 40km Youth 180km Youth 40km   Race Information $49.95 per rider. Registration will be limited to 50 riders (for now...) Distance: A blistering 40km ramble An all out 90km gravel grind   The fine print: No refunds, but transfers will be considered with a $10 fee. You will be responsible for your own transportation to the start of the course.   Please read and review the waiver here.  If you'd like to register, please complete the waiver here if you haven't already signed one this year:  https://smartwaiver.com/splash/109052

For this Furious 5, we'll be returning to Premature for some Air DH-ing, steeze filled, yelp-inducing party laps. This is the week you can shralp to your heart's content, scrub as hard as you'd like and whip us all into a frenzy. It's time for Air DH; everyone's favourite. It's' super fun to watch and just that little bit sweeter to participate in. This year we are using Premature - it's close to town, flowing great and perfect to watch everyone else once you've thrown down your best lap. And what's more, this week and this week only- if you so choose- you can throw down 1,2,3 or maybe even 4 laps and we'll pick your fastest.  Prizes: Winners will be announced at the event, but prizing is by random draw! If you compete or volunteer, your name will get thrown in a hat for all kinds of great prizes. We have pedals, tires, lube, GCC Swag and so much more, so come on out!! This event is limited to 50 riders so please sign up in advance!  Volunteers are the backbone of these events and can also register below.

  FULL GAS FALL ENDURO SERIES Full Gas Enduro is grassroots racing at its finest. It’s pretty much a glorified group ride with a fancy timing bracelet. No pressure and no big production ... just riding bikes. Chill social uphills with friends. Good ol’ RACING on the descents. And a legit timing system to see just how fast you actually went. Full Gas is the perfect excuse to get together and ride some of the sweetest descents Golden has to offer. This fall, we’re kicking things off on Mt. 7. Ever race Psychosis? You might get a chance to redeem yourself on a section or two of this legendary course. Never raced it? Even better. Come see what all the fuss was about. We’re not going to tell you much more than that. Just come. It’ll be sick. It’ll be fun. And you’ll probably be surprised by some of the trails we have you riding.     COURSE INFO The courses will NOT be announced in advance. Don't even ask ;) Riders should be comfortable riding Black trails to participate. This isn't meant to be an intimidating race. If you're comfortable riding Golden's black trails, come give it a go! Each race will include timed enduro stages connected by untimed, social transfer sections. Ride the uphills with your friends, catch your breath, and then give 'er when the timing starts.     REGISTRATION $11 per racer in advance or $10 cash on site. IF we are sold out in advance of the event, we will let you know. We only have 50 timing chips, so don't dilly-dally. Your entry goes directly back to the Golden Cycling Club to help keep the trails running sweet, and maybe upgrade the timing system in the future so more people can join us next time. And nudge, nudge... if you haven't already, consider grabbing a Golden Cycling Club membership. Memberships help support the trails, events and work that make riding in Golden so darn good.
