About Franklin County Cyclists

What we do is who we are

Franklin County Cyclists (FCC) began in 2008 when the club formed as the Summit Health Bike Club. In 2012, due to overwhelming growth, we transformed into "FCC" and became a nonprofit 501 C4 corporation. In 2019, FCC status was changed to a nonprofit 501 C3.

Our Signature Rides are on Tuesday evenings beginning in late April and continuing through mid September. We ride at 5:30 p.m. with 5 levels of riders all starting and ending at the same location. There are over 20 different starting locations. We ask that riders under 16 ride with an adult. All communication is through e-mail, the FCC website and/or FaceBook.
