About the Golden Cycling Club

The Golden Cycling Club (GCC) is a non-profit organization that manages and maintains over 165 km of trails across four major networks — Mount 7, Moonrakers, CBT Mainline, and Mountain Shadows. Working closely with Recreation Sites and Trails BC (RSTBC), private landowners, and community partners, the GCC is committed to providing safe, sustainable, and inclusive recreation opportunities for all trail users.

Our paid Trail Crew plays a key role in delivering on this mission — maintaining our existing trail network, developing new projects, and ensuring our partnership obligations are met. For 2025, we are hiring two full-time Trail Leadership positions to help us continue raising the bar for trail quality and community stewardship in Golden.
