Supporting Cycling In and Around Fredericton
Riders – River Valley Cycling is really excited about winterbike for 2023. It’s been 10 years since the first fat bikes started rolling around town. We’ve just rolled out our winter memberships so go ahead and join RVC for the winter season!
To celebrate, we are sharing a winterized redesign of our logo from the talented volunteer Christina Tracy!
If you’re like us, you’ve been staring at your mountain bike for weeks now, just itching for the word that the trails are dried up and ready to ride. The big spring thaw can feel like it takes forever even though this year we were lucky enough to have excellent winter conditions right into the first week of April. We’ve been taking the last few weeks to get ready to launch RVC’s 2023 season… and this post is about what we’ve got in mind.
If you don’t feel like reading you can just skip right to our registration page:
Hey riders – registration for the 2023 Winterbike season is now live. Join!
If you’re new to riding singletrack in the winter here’s the scoop:
Keep following us over the next few weeks as we share our 2023 grooming plans, winter-biking tips, and more news.
Our registration for Winterbike is now open and we want you to sign up. Your membership goes towards grooming at 3 great trail systems: MVP, Woolastook, and Deer Park. Stay connected to us on Facebook and Instagram to get regular updates on snow conditions throughout the season. We’ll be posting our grooming plans for each area in the next few days.
This year RVC is also launching a GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $5,000 by January 15th to get our groomers some more reliable equipment. We’ll be posting updates regularly throughout the campaign. We’re asking for your support – whether you fatbike every day or just enjoy getting out on your snowshoes in the areas that we groom. You’ll notice this year that we’re redirecting all of our donations to this campaign – so there’s not going to be a ‘gold’ or ‘platinum’ level membership option. If you want to give us some extra love – please head towards the GoFundMe.
We are really excited about this upcoming season. RVC will be supporting a beginner level group fatbike ride starting in January and we’ve heard some rumours about new winterbike trailheads being added in Fredericton later this year. Very interesting! We’ll also be posting advice and tips throughout the season about how to get the most out of your ride and how to practice good winter riding etiquette.
So please support us and join RVC Winterbike!
It’s time to support your local trails. Join RVC!
As of today we are opening our registration for the 2021 season and launching our membership drive. To celebrate this, RVC is releasing a video that introduces the club, describes our mission, and features our riders. (Huge thanks to Joel at East Lens Media for such a great product)
We are hoping for our largest ridership yet as the summer of 2021 is going to be the season that we stay close to home – rediscover what we have in our own back yard – and support local!
As always, we’re making it affordable to join RVC with an individual membership costing only $30. Check out our membership structure to find out ways you can scale your support and/or add the whole family at a discount.
Where does your membership money go? Answer – into shaping beautiful trails and creating opportunities for riders to access them.
So what are you waiting for? Join RVC
