The GMBC executive committee still hopes that our club will be a model for good covid behavior and hopes that everyone on the rides will be fully vaccinated and boosted.
Please do not ride if you feel sick or have had a known recent exposure to Covid-19.
If you are not completely vaccinated, please keep 6 feet of separation in the parking area and rest stops.
Please continue to carry a mask during the ride (in case of a mechanical or a store stop that still requests masks).
In April and October we normally have leaderless rides from a set location. We will not be holding these rides this year due to Covid-19 but if anyone is interested in leading a ride please contact .
Informal touring ride. Touring rides in April and October do not have assigned leaders and do not have a planned route. Due to often unpredictable weather during those months, distance and route is determined by whomever shows up. Only the start/meeting site is predetermined. There may be one or more groups and/or destinations.
No valid “end” times are listed for touring rides because of differences in riders’ speed and distance traveled.
Start times vary during the year (because of the sunset)!! Riding with front and rear lights is recommended all season.
Early season (through April): on the road at 5:30 PMor earlier

Late season (September until ??): on the road at 5:30 PM or earlier

Everyone, regardless of membership status, must have a signed GMBC Rider Waiver on record to participate in any GMBC event. You only have to sign ONCE a season and then all rides are covered.
Always click refresh (on your browser bar) to be sure that you are seeing the most recent version of all events. This is especially important for race results and cue sheets! Calendar event dates, times and venues are approximate until schedules are finalized in Spring of each year. Ride times listed are MEET TIMES only because the actual ride time will depend on riders, route chosen, changing weather, etc. Evening training ride start times will vary as the sunset time changes and will be earlier in spring and fall and later in midsummer. Saturday (VP) training rides are the opposite and tend to start earlier in midsummer to allow for longer and cooler rides. Check the latest information on the GMBC email list for the most updated information.
Users may change the full calendar view as well as the view on the sidebar menu. Options include: full, week, day, list, 4-day, and posterboard. Tours, time trials, crits, training rides and meetings are each color-coded for easy identification. Clicking on an event will provide full information including a map to the start site and ride leader contact information if relevant. Mouse over (hover) an event to see the same information but with smaller text and no map.
Please report problems with the calendar information to the webmaster. If you would like to have your bicycle-related event in Vermont or upstate New York included on the GMBC calendar, please contact the webmaster.
