VELO CLUB

Membership allows you to benefit from the association with other cyclists to broaden your knowledge and enjoyment of the sport, be it organized racing, trail construction & maintenance, transportation advocacy or riding for fun and fitness. The Greensboro Velo Club was established 1975 and originally focused primarily on racing.The GVC grew to include recreational riding and has partnered with the Greensboro Fat Tire Society to become an all-inclusive cycling club.

MOUNTAIN BIKING

The Greensboro Fat Tire Society is dedicated to the promotion and education of responsible mountain biking. Our members have come together to open new avenues (or trails) to the mountain biking community. With an organized effort we hope to accomplish many goals. One major goal being to bring a positive attitude toward mountain biking in general by maintaining existing trails and developing new ones.

RECREATIONAL 

It is the mission of the Greensboro Velo Club to promote cycling for persons of all abilities and skill levels. We provide opportunities for all cyclists through the scheduling of annual new rider clinics, insuring adequate weekly group ride opportunities, planning social events reflecting the inherent fellowship of cycling, promoting GVC sponsored cycling events/rides, and encouraging cyclists to join and become active in the GVC.

RACING

Local business sponsorships help fund the Greensboro Velo Club Racing Teams. Racing every year since 1976, the team currently counts 45 to 60 members throughout the season. Team members represent the GVC in all racing categories and age divisions, on road and on mountain bikes. Team members annually elect a captain for the road, mountain and junior mountain divisions. Sponsorship monies are awarded at season's end, based on the number of races entered and the completion of volunteer requirements within the club. If you are interested in racing, please contact Dale Brown at Cycles de Oro, the GVC's VP of Road Racing or the VP of Mountain Bike Racing
