About Us
Welcome to the Grimpeurs Cycling Club!
We are a fun group of recreational cyclists based in the National Capital Region (Ottawa/Gatineau) of Canada.
In GCC, we all come together because we share a strong commitment to improve our cycling skills and have a genuine love for the sport.
Our club is multicultural, with members from Canada, Colombia, Japan, Ukraine, China, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador and we welcome all. Nationality is not a defining factor for us; what matters is your passion for cycling and your desire to grow as a cyclist.
Together, we form a close-knit community of like-minded individuals who strive to grow both individually and collectively in our cycling journey.
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or just starting out, we invite you to join us on this exhilarating adventure.
Come and experience the spirit of the Grimpeurs Cycling Club, where passion meets determination with every pedal stroke. Join us today and become part of the GCC movement!
Our history
Our history began in 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. A group of friends decided to spend their summer differently by organizing weekend bike rides. In May 2022, during one of these outings, the idea of forming their own club, now known as GCC, was born. Motivated by the desire to create a community of dedicated cyclists, Dan, Chieko and Ivan founded The Grimpeurs Cycling Club, later joined by José and Miguel to take this story forward. We are a young group of cyclists who come together to explore the beautiful roads of the NCR, push our limits, and create memories that last a lifetime. This is only the beginning.
why grimpeurs cycling club?
