Green Mountain Bike Club

Green Mountain Bike Club Welcome to the Green Mountain Bicycle Club (GMBC), the oldest and largest cycling club in Vermont!

Check this page for information on weekly rides and club events. For a comprehensive description and calendar of GMBC events, visit our website. The Green Mountain Bicycle Club, formed in the winter of 1970/71, is the largest cycling club in Vermont, consisting of over 300 members. These enthusiasts represent a wide variety of cycling interests, such as recreational riding, mountain biking, and co

mpetitive bicycling on the road and trail. Many of the club's members are active outdoors thorough out the year and appreciate the feeling of being outside, whether on bike or on foot. The club has a number of events open to the public, such as weekly practice criteriums, time trials, and tours in the warmer months, and occasional lectures in the colder months. There is a winter spin series, too, that is open to club members only. In addition, club members receive discounts at a number of local businesses. GMBC is host to the very popular Burlington Criterium on Labor Day, and this long-standing race has seen the likes of George Hincapie and other riders of that caliber through the years. The Burlington Criterium started out as and remained a one-day event for many years, but in 2000 it was integrated into the wildly popular Green Mountain Stage Race.

Volunteers Needed! 🚴‍♀️🚴🏾🚴🏽‍♂️

It’s coming on that time of year! The Burlington Criterium needs you! Please click the link below to volunteer.

Thanks,

Jared Katz

The biggest hurdle I anticipate is volunteer numbers. It takes roughly the following to put on the race:

Setup - 20 volunteers
Shifts 1, 2, 3 - 24 volunteers
Teardown - 20 volunteers

In total, that's 112 volunteering shifts. Many people combine course setup with shift 1 or shift 3 with teardown, so we typically need around 85 volunteers in total.

We have 17 so far after I did one email to GMBC. If you're able to share this out with any of your circles to get the volunteer numbers up, that would be great. I can do my best to fill the shifts through outreach, but if each person is able to pull an additional 5-7 people, we will make out way to a well-staffed event.

Link here for the signup form.

Thank you so much for volunteering for this year's Burlington Criterium. This race is possible because of all the enthusiastic community support we get year after year. We're extremely excited to be back in Burlington on the Classic Criterium course that has enthralled the city for decades. This is....
