Welcome All!

As our cycling community struggles to get back to some semblance of normal the Fresno Cycling Club has decided it is time to ease into hosting Club Rides. Effective immediately rides will be available to Club members and posted on our Club Calendar, on our Facebook pages and/or via email trees. Our ride leaders have been briefed on the new protocols to follow to comply with the Covid-19 pandemic recommendations. For now:

• Riders are responsible for their own well being and should not be riding with a group if they have any symptoms related to suspected Covid-19.
• All riders must be Club members with their dues current. You can check on your membership at: https://fresnocycling.com/Join. Please check your membership status before attending the ride.
• Riders need to practice appropriate personal hygiene before, during and after the ride. Hand washing is essential pre-ride and post-ride.
• Normal greeting practices to avoid for now, hand shaking, hugging, or kissing.
• Maintain social distancing of 6’ as recommended by health officials while standing around or riding.
• Be mindful of your comfort level, some riders will be comfortable riding in a group, others may not.
• Face masks or gators although not mandatory may be helpful to avoid droplet contact from other riders.
• Ride groups should be limited to 10 riders per ride leader when possible This can be flexible based on the comfort level of the ride leader and that of the group.
• Multiple groups may be on the same route if they each have a ride leader.
• Riders need to be aware of their surroundings while riding. Be mindful and courteous to other riders, especially when doing "nose blows" or spitting which are common practices for riders.
• Club rides are covered by supplemental accident injury insurance up to $10,000 per rider, which of course we hope no one needs to utilize.

Our members are anxious to get back to group riding and we want to make sure that everyone can do so in a safe environment. Our rides will be posted with the Ride Leader information, the route, start time and location.

I realize there may be questions that arise, and we will make every effort to respond to them. Realize that we are in uncharted territory and will be making necessary adjustments as time goes on.

As always ride safe and ride legal. See you on the road or in the dirt.

The Prez

The Fresno Cycling Club is a 501(c) club promoting cycling and safety in the Central Valley.  FCC was founded in 1962, and is the oldest and largest bicycling club in Central California.

We are a community of over 700 like-minded people that promote safe and legal bicycle riding for recreation and transportation. We value riding our bicycles with friends, organizing cycling programs and events, funding bicycle-related organizations and programs and advocating for laws and infrastructure improvements that support safe cycling. We strive to promote a mutual respect between motorists and bicyclists by adhering to the Bicyclist’s Code of Conduct. As a member of the Club you become an Advocate for better bicycling.

On our website, you can learn about who we are and what we do.  With events that range from the local ice cream rides to Climb to Kaiser (a 155 mile event that Bicycling magazine says is one of the 10 toughest), FCC promotes cycling not just as an activity, but a regular part of your life. 

A number of smaller “ride groups” within FCC will help you find some riders with riding interests similar to yours.

If you like your bike, FCC has a place for you! The FCC sponsors several major events each year: The infamous Climb to Kaiser, Bass Lake Power House Double Century, and others. Club rides are scheduled year round and range from novice level to 150 mile expert rides. We protect the rights of cyclists by following local, state, and national affairs as they concern cycling.

Welcome to the Fresno Cycling Club.
