What PCC Membership Offers

MEMBERS-ONLY RIDES AND EVENTS

There are B-paced “Show and Go” rides on most Tuesday and Thursday mornings, starting at 9:00 am. Rides start at the corner of “B” and Second Streets in downtown Petaluma at the River Front Cafe. For more info, check out the Upcoming Events item on the Home page.

We also hold periodic ride events, such as ride/ice cream socials and joint rides with Santa Rosa Cycling Club. Become a member to get in the loop!

Note: Non-members may participate in one (1) club ride as a guest (you must bring a signed Waiver). After that, we ask that you become a member.  

RIDE CONNECT

Use the Ride Connect forum to learn about rides that others are organizing, or to post what kind of ride you're interested in: start time, pace, distance, route, etc. (don’t forget to visit our Ride with GPS Route Library!).  

Even if our regularly posted rides don't fit your schedule or your riding level, we have the tools here for you to find your own rides, with or without a group.

MEMBERS' FORUM

Use the Members' Forum to post buy/sell ads, get advice, or discuss any other cycling-related topic.

SOCIAL GATHERINGS

PCC schedules quarterly combined all-pace rides and social events like ice cream socials and pizza and holiday parties. Occasionally, we join with the Santa Rosa Cycling Club for rides and events. 

Ride with GPS PREMIUM ACCOUNT

PCC has a Ride with GPS "club account", which gives us a central place to store, browse and access the club's Ride with GPS routes. It also gives us access to the premium "paid" Ride with GPS features, such as Advanced Turn Notifications.

The Route Library is managed to maintain clearly named, non-duplicate, checked and error-free routes, which can be used by anyone for future club and individual rides.

DISCOUNTS WITH CLUB SPONSORS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES

We currently have a 15% club discount with Mike’s Bikes. More to come.

You may need to show your PCC membership card to get discounts. The card is electronic and is visible through the Club’s “Wild Apricot” membership app (available for free on your favorite app store).

BIKE TRAVEL CASE

The Club has one hard-sided Serfas bike travel case available on a first-come-first-served basis, free to any member who needs it. The dimensions of the case are 47" long x 30" wide x 10" deep. Contact Mike Moore to reserve the case.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH

PCC participates in a variety of volunteer efforts including: roadside clean-ups along some of our most traveled County roads, free bike repair for residents and clients at the Mary Isaac Center, Petaluma’s homeless shelter, and a bike valet service at a local charity century ride. In addition, our members—who are also often members of the Santa Rosa Cycling Club—support SRCC rides and events. PCC members regularly engage in local bicycle transportation related issues and forums.
