Galloway Hillbillies Bike Club

What does being a GHBC member mean?

The Galloway HillBillies Bike Club is a voice for the biking community of Galloway. We develop the cycling community, bike skills and cycling confidence with joy and gratitude alongside challenge and progression, whilst fostering a bike culture and a community that embraces our sport as a positive force.

GHBC hosts and organises bike races, events and activities. We protect and maintain the bike trails as environmental leaders, focused on sustainability through education & action.
