WHO WE ARE
GVYC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) middle and high school youth development cycling team based in Mesa County, Colorado. We are affiliated with the Colorado High School Cycling League. Though we primarily draw from Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade and their respective feeder schools, we are composed of students from all over the Grand Valley area.
WHAT WE DO
GVYC is a mountain bike development program for riders in 6th to 12th grade, taking us beyond the official high school season and getting more kids on bikes. We enjoy off-season training together, group rides, occasional races, etc.
From August 1 through October, high schoolers train together three times per week and race every other weekend for our respective schools.
WHY WE’RE HERE
GVYC is dedicated to bringing the love and passion of cycling to the youth of the Grand Valley in a safe, fun, and challenging environment to help promote positive experiences that encourage lifelong riders and advocates of our sport.

Coach Gerry is a Colorado native, who moved to the Grand Valley in 2016. Gerry grew up as a competitive gymnast, and always valued the role of his team and coach in his life. To him it was a second family. Ever since then, he has loved being a part of teams. In Steamboat he spent 8 winters as a Snowboard Coach with the Winter Sports Club, and loved coaching so much he decided to quit restaurant work, and pursue teaching. 
Originally from Boise, Idaho, Geoff grew up outside. He was raised through hiking, biking, fishing, camping and many other outdoor activities. As a lifelong competitive runner turned cyclist, he enjoys coaching a variety of disciplines in cycling, though his favorite is the team-oriented aspect of GVYC. Geoff enjoys using sports to help others develop and grow as people, and strive for and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. He is in his fifth year with the program and has loved seeing it grow from a small program to one that now offers opportunities for middle school as well as high school athletes.
