BIKE TRAIL MAINTENANCE

Greensboro Fat Tire Society and Velo Club members work diligently throughout the year to maintain the mountain bike trails in Guilford County. They schedule regular work dates and devote many volunteer man-hours to keeping the trails environmentally sound and safe for riding. The GVC has funded the construction of trail bridges and trail head information kiosks. In addition, our Trails Advocate, Mark Gatehouse, is working with the local authorities to design, plot and create MTB Trails in Guilford County's newest Northeast Park.

Club members also hold weekly recreational, fitness and training rides which are open to the public. A current schedule of these rides, along with starting locations and meeting times can be found on the Club Calendar.

CLUB CLOTHING

An inventory of club clothing is kept by the VP-Administration for distribution upon receipt of paid orders. NO CLOTHING is kept, or sold, at Cycles de Oro. Reorders are generally placed with our clothing manufacturer in advance of the spring and winter seasons. Mid-season orders may be placed if demand is high and inventories are depleted. To receive club clothing, complete an order form and mail it with payment in full to:

GVC/GFTS
ATTN: Club Clothing
PO Box 29052
Greensboro, NC 27429-9052

If your items are in stock, you will be contacted to arrange delivery. If you cannot be reached, or if the items are on order (not in stock) they will be mailed to you when supplies are received.

NOTE: Our clothing is European cut & sized. Please order one size up.
