Our Mission
Our club's mission is to share our passion for bicycle riding through organized events, including a variety of weekly rides designed for both novice and experienced bicyclists of all ages.
Our Rides
Our group bike rides traverse the beautiful foothills of the Sierras in and around the city of Auburn. For more information about our rides visit: ride info. Or, to see what rides our club currently offers, check out our ride calendar. Join us to explore the area while having fun, getting fit, and making friends.
Ever find yourself riding with a group one minute and the next, by yourself and off course? This can easily happen on club rides if you lose site of other riders and are not following the route sheet from your ride leader.
Fortunately, there are some new low cost products for your bicycle that can help keep you from getting lost.

SFCC Club Jerseys
Have you seen the new club jerseys being worn by cyclists in the Auburn area? The jerseys, made by Voler, are purchased directly from their website on a batch order basis. Voler requires at least 15 orders to be placed before they manufacture the lot. This process allows members to purchase a jersey directly from Voler (for $59 + tax) and not have the club handle inventory.
Special Note: Voler is currently not taking orders for jerseys at the Club's request. We want to hear from you if you are interested in one...or more, and we will notify Voler to take orders when we can meet their minimum order limit.
Please send an e-mail to jersey@sfcyclists.org with your name and quantity to give us a rough count. You are under no obligation to purchase one. We just want the rough numbers to know when to re-activate the ordering process.
We've had very good success with our first two processed orders with over 100 jerseys being worn by Auburn area cyclists.
