Boy Scout Troop 754 would like to extend an invitation to GORC members to join with our troop on an IMBA Epic Trail ride, April 25-26-27, 2014. We are going to tackle the Berryman Trail that weekend. It is the only IMBA Epic-designated trail within 500 miles of St. Louis.

Fleet Feet has donated $500.00 to GORC to continue our trailbuilding projects. GORC truly appreciate the continued support of Fleet Feet Runners Club and everyone who supports our trailbuilding and advocacy efforts.  We are fortunate to have a great community of trail users in St. Louis that keeps GORC moving forward.

The winner of the Ballwin Cycles $500.00 wheelset (credit) raffle giveaway was randomly chosen at our January 9th meeting at the Schlafly Bottleworks.

On January 9th, GORC will hosts its first meeting of the new year at the Schlafly Bottleworks. We will be meeting Thursday at 7pm in the Crown Room that overlooks the production warehouse.

GORC is pleased to announce our newest membership sponsor, Front Cycles. They are offering members a big discount on frame repairs – all you need to do is bring in the coupon and show them your current membership card. You can visit their website at Front Cycles for additional information.

Every year GORC celebrates its hard-working volunteers, whether they are a member or not, with a king-sized party. Come out and see all your GORC friends. The annual Appreciation Party recognizes all of our volunteers that have come out to our trail building days throughout the year.

Good news! The inaugural Mississippi Valley Bike Expo and Swap Meet was a success. Each of the three co-sponsors including BicycleWorks, Missouri Bicycle Federation and Gateway Off-Road Cyclists split the modest profit to help their respective ongoing advocacy efforts.

The GORC monthly meeting will be moving the Schlafly Bottleworks in 2014! This ends our 10 year run at the Tap Room in Midtown but Schlafly is reclaiming their meeting room but also moving us out to Maplewood to ease our transition.

Announcing our fall trail building season raffle! We are raffling off a wheelset of your choice valued up to $500.00 – think of it as a credit. You want a Stan’s Race Gold wheelset? Well, if you are the lucky winner then you have $500.00 to apply towards the purchase at Ballwin Cycles whom are offering this killer raffle.

We would like to invite you to be a part of the 2013 Mississippi Valley Bicycle Expo & Swap Meet. This year’s event is being held September 15, 2013 on the St. Louis University Campus, located in Midtown St. Louis, Missouri.
