The WLCC is hoping to entice more people to become members.
A lot of people ask me, or many of our hard working club directors, what their membership goes towards or what it gets them. I’ve been doing this a long time so it seems really obvious to me but….sometimes I need a new lens or perspective when answering that question. So here’s what I would say:
“Your membership goes towards the very existence of the Williams Lake Cycling Club. Without you, there would be no club and without us you wouldn’t have, in no intentional order:
-one of the largest legal trail networks in the province. This includes close to 180 trails and over 300km of single track, almost all accessible from anywhere in town.
-new major trails like Lazy Dog or Loose Moose, which was a $245,000 investment into our community
-close to $100,00 invested into rebuilding the Westsyde trail network over the last 3 years, The Backdoor, Cherry Popper and Bushinvader all saw significant improvements and rebuilds. This is all after a $95,000 investment in 2012 that made Snakes and Ladders the rad trail it is now
-organized timed dh races(a special thanks to all the hard working volunteers that make the Sunset Race Series happen)
-a regular annual maintenance budget that allows us to keep most of our trails In amazing shape and that also allows us to respond to trail issues as needed
-protection of our trails when other user groups, industry or fuel management activities have plans in the areas our trails are located
-a respectful relationship with First Nations and WLFN which recognizes we are recreating in the unceded territories of the Secwépemc people
-a legal binding agreement with the province to maintain the trails and one that recognizes our trails as legally protected.
-a cohesive strategy with the city of Williams Lake where they support us and we promote WL as a strong and vibrant mtb community
Oh, you also have a chance to win one of 6 club prize packs that include a pair of sweet WLCC socks and/or a WLCC T-shirt or jersey for the youth and a pair of socks and a jersey for the adults.”
As to the, “How do I win?” question, just become a member of the WLCC before June 21, 2026. Everyone that’s a 2026 WLCC member by that date will qualify. We have two prize packs each for youth, ladies and men.
For parents, your child or children will be entered when you do a family membership.
