Learn to Ride is a youth mountain bike development program for kids Grades 1 through 7, ages 6 to 12, designed to teach the fundamentals of mountain bike trail riding in a safe, fun, and controlled environment. It is designed for all abilities and kids will be grouped according to their skill level. Learn to Ride starts on April 26th, and will consist of skill-based lessons once a week on Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 for 4 weeks (Skipping the May Long weekend on the 18th).   Learn to Ride is $75 per child, which includes a Golden Cycling Club Junior membership and a custom  jersey. Registration is limited to 150 kids.   In order to ensure we have a safe and successful camp, we would like to provide you with some information that we would like you to discuss with your child.  Please review the following details so that your son or daughter is ready to ride. Rider registration – Please ensure you have completed and submitted the online registration and waiver forms for the camp, and also have completed the Golden Cycling Club membership forms by April 21st or your child will not be able to ride.  There is no on the day registration. This will ensure we have all the required information to group kids for maximum fun and ensure we have relevant info to deal with any medical concerns if they should arise.      Rider Bike Check – The Bike Check is meant to be a preventative inspection done to ensure your child’s bike is in good working order prior to the camp starting. If you are unsure about any aspect of your child’s bike please take to your local bike shop and have the mechanic have a look. It is the FULL responsibility of each rider/parent to ensure that their bicycle is properly maintained and safe.  The instructors will perform a brief safety check prior to the first session at which time if your child’s bike is unsafe, they will not be allowed to ride until fixed.  The riders will learn how to perform their own safety check and identify any problems in following sessions, Session Start Date – The 2025 camp is scheduled to begin on April 26th at 9:30am at the Keith King soccer fields and run until 11:30 am. it will run for 4 Saturday mornings through to May 24th. Clothing/Gear/Helmet – Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather (i.e. rain, cold, hot), as well as wearing closed-toed shoes.  All riders must have a properly fitting helmet that is adjustable around the CROWN of the child's head (this applies to all helmets other than full face helmets). A hydration source is STRONGLY recommended   Rider Check In/Name Tags – At the start of EACH session, each rider will check in at a designated area where they will receive a coloured name tag and be assigned to their skill level group identified by a coloured bib worn by the instructors. All riders must sign out after each session, to allow us to ensure all riders have returned from the daily trail ride. IMPORTANT: Once you've completed your registration, if you haven't already done so, you will receive an email asking you to activate your Golden Cycling Club account. Once you have completed this, visit the Membership Page of the Golden Cycling Club and select the 'Junior Learn to Ride Membership' and complete this process to sign the waiver. The waiver can be accessed here: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/v/goldencyclingclub/ No riders will be allowed to participate without a signed waiver.  

Join us for the Phat Burner Fat Bike Race! The Phat Burner is back for the third year and will take advantage of our flowy, freshly groomed fat biking trails in the Golden area.  This year, the race will take place in the upper CBT area and take advantage of some downhill from the top of Kicking Horse. The race will start at the entrance to Scallimag at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, and flow down towards the 'bug trails', forming a counter-clockwise loop on Odonata, CBT, and Hemiptera, before finishing at the Cedar Lake Corner on Kicking Horse Rd. We'll bump you back up to your vehicle from there, so there's no need to burst a lung climbing back up Scallimag. See the course here:  Expect a little bit of everything, including some flowy downhill. Race for the podium, or challenge yourself with a group of like-minded weirdos. Prizes, sponsorship, and all around good vibes from Higher Ground Sports. If you'd like to try the race but don't have a fat bike, rent one from Higher Ground! Hot chocolate courtesy of Kicking Horse Resort. Maximum 50 Riders.

All thrills none of the frills. This week's furious five event will be a great little enduro in Mountain Shadows. The Furious 5 is a fun, family friendly event! Everyone is welcome, including kids. We'll start from reflection lake and take a little ride (or shuttle) up to Bush Party, from there our first stage will be Berminator, short but sweet & full of berms. We'll then meander across Selkirk Slacker and up Reflection lake until we get to where it meets Quentin's. The power stage will start here trending down towards the Kobe's intersection and then heading up the techy and super-fun "technical up". After a breather, we'll carry on up cutting through to Huff and Puff. The third stage will flow down here - watch out for the V-rock. After another teeny tiny pedal the last stage will head down Chute the Duck - finishing about 20metres before Selkirk Slacker. Stop for a sec & gather yourself, let the arm pump fade and then pedal out which ever way you'd like - the new high school trail is a super fun option. There's about  250m of climbing (or about 70m less if you shuttle up to Bush party) across about 7km of riding. Stage 1: Berminator  Stage 2: Reflection lake across the ridge until it meets Kobe's, and then clockwise on Kobe's  up "technical up" Stage 3: Huff and Puff - down Stage 4: Chute the Duck to Selkirk Slacker.   Prizes: Winners will be announced at the event, but prizing is by random draw!

The Golden Cycling Club invites you to a community engagement initiative that aims to celebrate resilience in the face of adversity. The Golden Cycling Club is pleased to announce that all proceeds of the event will go towards local mental health services served by the Golden Family Center. We are excited to share with you: Schach Therapy - June 1st, 2024 A mountain bike relay race or ride for the cause on Mount 7, followed by an evening event featuring a public speaker and a short film series. The Race or Ride for the Cause 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.  Not interested in racing? No worries! Ride for the cause! Many have made climbing The Schacher a personal goal and this is the time to make it happen -- with friends and community by your side. 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 out at specific locations; the road crossing at 5.5k, 10k, and the launch.   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 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.  Unfortunately, there is no E-bike category this year.   To participate, individuals must be at least 12 years old or older. Tickets are $30 per rider. All proceeds go to the Golden Family Center.  Donations are welcome. To donate to the Golden Family Center, click here. Registration begins April 15th. Start getting your teams together!
