Fox Valley Bicycle &
Ski Club

Our Official Sponsor

See FVBSC COVID-19 Response here. All cyclists must adhere to state and local COVID guidelines and restrictions, as well as the FVBSC Group Ride Guidelines. FVBSC assumes cyclists participating in group rides will use good judgment regarding their eligibility and agree to the guidelines.

The mission of the Fox Valley Bicycle & Ski Club (FVBSC) is to encourage, educate and promote safe recreation, fitness and alternative transportation while preserving our precious natural resources. Our purpose is to promote the general interest of cycling and skiing, educate and inform the community about safety, rules of the road, maintenance, etiquette and more. We work with governmental and cycling organizations to defend the rights of cyclists, promote bike trails and lanes, and help formulate bicycle legislation and support infrastructure development. We contribute to the community through volunteerism and donations and promote good fellowship and lasting friendships. See our most recent newsletter here.

RIDES

Rides are offered in a variety of formats, including road, trail, gravel and now Zwift rides in various distances and speeds all throughout the week. Our goal is to provide safe and diverse rides that appeal to all types of cyclists, ranging from beginner/casual to advanced. Although the majority of our rides run from April to October, we do schedule rides anytime weather permits, including during weekends in the winter months. Most rides occur in the Fox Valley area, but out-of-town day rides or group trips are offered as well. Bios of our exceptional ride leaders can be found here. Please utilize our Events Calendar as your ride information resource. Questions? Contact our Ride Director at rides@fvbsc.org for more information.

WINTER ACTIVITIES

Traditionally our club has offered cross-country ski outings solo and in combination with Nordic Foxes and offer information on local resources. However, we are considering expansion into downhill skiing and snowboarding in 2020-2021. Stay tuned for more information. Please utilize our Events Calendar as your ski information resource.

RidewithGPS is a website & app used by cyclists to find, create and manage routes, track ride history and set riding goals. FVBSC pays for a club account for the benefit of its members. We are building a library of wide-variety routes.

As a member, in addition to the club’s route library, you will be able to use premium membership features on club routes including: 1) download maps, 2) turn-by-turn navigation on a smartphone and/or a GPS unit (Garmin, Wahoo, etc.) and 3) print paper versions of routes and cue sheets.

Following all safety guidelines, you each have at your disposal dozens, if not hundreds, of prepared routes to take advantage of on our Ride-with-GPS club page. As a member of the club page you can enjoy some features that are normally only available with a regular RwGPS subscription. Membership of the page is open to all FVBSC members.
