Why Become A Member?
We are always looking for new members to join our club. The
more people that assist in building new local trails and maintain
existing ones, the better for the entire mountain bike community.
Besides the trail work and advocacy, one of the best reasons
to join is to meet other like-minded individuals such as yourself.
Where else are you going to find other singletrack
friends that are always looking for someone to go on a ride,
camp, share stories, or have a drink?
We meet the first Wednesday of every month at the Tap
Room. Meetings start at 7pm. Topics include GORC trail
progress, local area happenings, event planning, group rides, trips and more. We meet
in the large private room behind the bar and entertainment
area.
Also, select local bike shops are now offering discounts to all GORC members. For a full list and more information, check out the shops offering discounts.

New Membership Renewal Policy For 2012 - Current or past members, look up your info
Beginning January 1, 2012 ALL GORC members owe their annual dues UNLESS you are a new member and have joined between October 1 and December 31. Please note that "everyone" in the system is listed as a non-member for the time being. Beginning January 1, 2012 this will be updated. Please email us or post on the Forum under Q/A -> Membership.
This policy is being put in place to relieve everyone of "remembering" when they need to pay up and to keep the GORC higher ups from having to keep track of renewals. Life will be much simpler.
Also, please fill out the form below so we can grab your CURRENT info. Remember to select "new" or "re-newing" member.
