Welcome to the Vancouver Velo Vets Cycling Club...
A road cycling club established in 1992, with a focus on group rides, social connections and the on-going development of cycling. Club rides rides usually stop at a local coffee shop and social events are held throughout the year.
Membership ranges from novice road cyclists to masters level and provincially licensed racers. The ride calendar reflects the variety of skill levels within the club; easy paced alternate social rides and higher paced rides. New members are encouraged to initially participate in rides appropriate to your riding skills and abilities. Guest Riders are welcome but are required to complete a waiver form and bring it to the ride you wish to participate in. If you lack experience, start with an alternate Richmond ride (see calendar). See you soon!
We pedal year round. During the off-season, November to March, rides are easy-paced and fenders and mudflaps are required.
Club rides are in a rotating paceline, depending on the size of the group and traffic conditions. Experienced members of the club will pass on tips and instruction to anyone unfamiliar with pacelines or other aspects of the sport. You are required to have basic bike skills and an appreciation and respect for all aspects of bicycle safety.
