February 10, 2005 – Central Vancouver Cycling (CVC) Club was created from the caffeine induced hallucinations of three cyclists sitting at the Bean, who wanted to get a group of people together, ride their bikes as fast as they all could, and have a blast doing it.

With a little work, dedication, and some luck, the founding members of CVC were able to get 10 companies to support the cause through finances, services, and products. On top of this, membership grew from three to twenty-one on the club membership roster at the end of CVC’s first year of existence 2003-2004.

Organized weekly rides, great uniforms, and proven race results were all achieved by CVC members in its first year, and we look forward to expanding our program in the future! Spinning classes, fitness sessions and a new website are all up and running for the launch of the 2005 season. CVC wishes to expand its membership both at the recreational and racing levels, while continuing to maintain it’s laid back, no “roadie attitude”, coffee crazed environment.

If you love to ride your bike (sometimes pretending you’re amongst Lance, Tyler, or Jan) and you want to take your cycling to the next level with a great group of people with endless experience and resources, CVC is your club and we look forward to riding with you.
