The Kennebec Valley Bicycle Club (KVBC) is a recreational road riding club located in the central Maine capital district.  An all-volunteer club, the KVBC offers weekend rides on scenic local cycling routes designed by its members.  Most of the club's rides start within a 30-mile radius of Augusta, with some further afield.  KVBC rides vary in distance and terrain, and are intended to offer regional day tours that will appeal to riders of different abilities.  Riders are free to ride at their own pace - non-members and newcomers are welcome.  Helmets and signed waivers are required for all participants at KVBC cycling events.  Annual membership dues - $10 for individuals, $15 for households - are collected in early April (we can take dues at the ride planning meeting if you wish) to raise funds for the club's liability insurance and its affiliate membership in support of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM).  KVBC rides and events are posted on the BCM's events calendar (both on-line and hard copy versions), with further details distributed by e-mail to everyone on the club's free contact list.  If you are in our area and are interested in participating in a KVBC scheduled ride, please feel free to join us!
