We want you! Maybe you join our rides/trail days or maybe you don't but if you run, walk, hike or cycle in this community you should join the River City Cycle Club. The objective of the River City Cycle Club is to actively promote cycling interests in Campbell River, bike lanes around town and trails around Campbell River. ...
Do you enjoy our Snowden trails? As trail stewards for the Snowden Demonstration Forest we are working to minimize the impact of logging in our beloved and well used trails system. Help us to help you. Supporting memberships are $20. Insured memberships are less at 10$ but you must also purchase a license from Cycling BC. The link will let you do both!
