Steep Citizens,
Hope you’re all enjoying the riding season thus far!
We’ve been posting our weekly rides via Strava on the Steep City Groups and Club pages.
You’re welcome to join and receive updates easily without the burden of of clogging your inbox or sorting the switchbacks of social media.
Moving forward, we will be posting all rides via Strava as we feel it’s the simplest platform for us to communicate with our growing community.
Look forward to seeing you out there!

Steep Citizens,
Hope you enjoyed the Tour de Nelson and are gearing up for the Bun Run fundraiser this weekend (thanks Mark for organizing this AM).
Saturday, June 3rd 7am at Gerick’s will be our first Gravelcade ride of the season, and Shimano is promoting all rides that day via the following link for prizes:

Feel free to comment on a 2-4 hour route that does not have construction or bear closures in effect.
My vote is Six Mile but not sure if North Shore road is under construction yet.
Let’s boogie!

United in gravel, we ride rebound.

Hey Folks!

Thanks to all the keen Sunday riders who came out this year. It was tons of fun to share the road so thanks for coming out! We have lots of things planned for next year, stay tuned!

In addition, if you would like to provide feedback or volunteer to help out or join the executive, please get in touch. We'd love to see the club grow and the more help we have on the organizing side the better!

Have a great winter and we'll see you in the spring!

No Garvelcade this Saturday (Sept 17) as we’re prepping the course for the Lemon Grind on Sunday.
If you’d like to register, we’ve kept the fee at $45 and are donating a portion to the Slocan Valley Rail Trail Society. You’ll also earn a rad Lemon Grind cap and we’ll be hosting food and beverages at Gerick’s after the event.
Hope to see you!
(Note: the start/finish will be at the Slocan Valley Rail Trail Passmore lot)

Lemon Grind Route Update: due to the Monument Creek fire & Six Mile Road closure, we are moving the start/finish to Passmore Trailhead on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail. The new route will head up to Slocan and back via Little Slocan Road, giving us 75km with 500m elevation on over 90% gravel.

Tomorrow’s road ride (Sept 11) is canceled due to smoke. Rest up and get ready for the Lemon Grind next week - we’ve prepped a good alternate course just in case…

Tomorrow’s Gravelcade (Sept 10) will go up either May & Jenny or Giveout to the kiosk on Morning Mountain and back to town. See you at Oso at 8am!
