The Almaden cycle touring club
The Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC) is a group of about 1000 bicycle enthusiasts based in the south San Francisco Bay area. Emphasis is on group fun and safety, with a variety of bicycling related events for a wide range of ability levels. Guests are welcome on club rides.
Club meetings are the first Tuesday of the month, at 7:00pm, at the First Congregational Church in San Jose. (Corner of Hamilton and Leigh Aves.) The business meeting lasts one hour, followed by a bicycle related speaker/event.
The monthly ride schedule includes all of the club-sponsored rides for the month. There are an average of 150 club rides held each month, which attract an average of 10 riders each. These rides are led by a club member, and cover all levels of difficulty. There are rides suitable for everyone, from the beginning bike rider to the advanced cyclist.
An Awards Party is held each year to recognize all of the club riders. Awards are given to riders with over 1000 club miles, and for Billy Goats, Grizzly Bears, and Mountain Goats.Billy Goats are a group of major hills around the south bay area. Credit is given for each Billy Goat climbed during a club ride, and special recognition is given to those riders who are able to complete a certain number of different Billy Goats. Riders who do 10 or more different Billy Goats will earn a Billy Goat patch.Grizzly Bears are a selection of special places, special days, or special rides. Grizzly Bears are generally flatter rides, and must not include a Billy Goat. Credit is given for only one Grizzly Bear done during a club ride, so when there are multiple possibilities for a ride you have to choose which one you want the ride to earn. Riders who do 10 or more different Grizzlies will earn a Grizzly Bear patch.Mountain Goats are a group of dirt roads and trails. Credit is given for each Mountain Goat done on a club ride. Riders who do 10 or more will earn a Mountain Goat patch.
The ACTC Academy is a series of on-bike sessions in order for beginning cyclists to improve their riding skills.
Yearly dues for the ACTC are $20 for an individual membership and $25 for a family. Print and mail the ACTC Membership Form or contact the membership chair for more information.
