The club is supported by several sponsors who hold cycling events in the valley. There are also a couple events that happen in our valley, that are cycling related that we also support. If you're not riding in these events, it's a great way to be part of them, see them up close and also have a lot of fun helping out with other like minded volunteers. People who volunteer once, usually make these volunteering opportunities part of their season each summer. Below is a list of events the club helps out with and the dates for them. If you're interested in helping please let us know.
