About Us

Gulf Coast Velo (GCV) was founded for amateur cyclists in Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota Counties who sought to form a more unified, friendlier, member-focused cycling club in the region. Riding with GCV means every member has equal opportunity to provide input and help evolve the club into the best in the area.

What We Value:

Health: We believe in the transformative power of cycling for physical and mental well-being. Our club organizes group rides, training sessions, and workshops to enhance health and fitness.

Education: We prioritize safety and knowledge sharing, providing resources and training to equip our members with essential skills and information about cycling laws and best practices.

Community: Gulf Coast Velo is dedicated to building lasting relationships among cyclists in our region. Through social events and collaborative activities, we create a sense of belonging that extends beyond riding.

Integrity: In addition to our recreational activities, we take pride in promoting clean and safe racing throughout the southeastern United States. We advocate for fair competition and work towards creating a positive racing environment for all participants.
