Let’s dig, laugh, connect, and make these trails even better — together.

The folks who put on Sea Otter are ready for our sign-ups! In exchange for cold hard cash in the club bank account, club volunteers are needed on Sunday April 13th for the Fuego XL. The Fuego XL is their 70 mile mountain bike race, grueling, with 3 laps thru the feed zone. Our volunteers will hand out bottles, stock nutrition, etc.
Volunteers can click on this link:
https://sea-otter-classic.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/... then enter the password. (SCCCC)
Or you can download and open the attached flyer which has the link embedded. (QR code)
Once you enter the password it will reveal that job. Last year's club volunteers raised over $900 for SCCCC! You can also pick other days and shifts but we promised we'd staff the XL mountain bike race. Please consider a shift. 🙂

RideWithGPS will be holding their annual Holiday Discount (15 months of Premium for the cost of 12 months) - however Santa Cruz County Cycling Club has a deal where not only can our members get this offer 3 weeks early, but the club gets $8 for each person who completes this purchase.

The 15 months will be added onto your existing subscription (if you have one), or will simply be 15 months starting from the day you sign up (for new accounts).
Premium makes sense for those who want to make their own maps for adventures outside of the club library, while still getting the critical turn-by-turn and offline navigation features. In addition you’ll have access to surface type data (to help you hit or avoid those gravel roads in France, Spain, Germany, Italy or wherever!).

A Ride with GPS Premium subscription is a gift that keeps on giving. Available on the web and on mobile, a better commute, a great workout, or a grand adventure is just a few clicks away!

Calling all Cyclocross riders! Surf City returns to a multi-weekend series for the first time since 2017! And after a nearly thirty year hiatus, Surf City returns to the University of California Santa Cruz campus, October 6th. The first race will be held at the East Fields athletic complex. This year also marks 40 years since the USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships were held in Santa Cruz on the UCSC campus. First timers ride free!

The highlight of Surf City All Hallow's Cross is the COSTUME RACE! This is by far the best race to spectate and participate in, so we encourage everybody to join the fun. Put on your best costume and ride one fun lap of the course. There will be a podium with prizes for best costume! Costs only $10.
