About Franklin County Cyclists

What we do is who we are

The roots of the Franklin County Cyclists began in 2008, when we first formed as Summit Health Bike Club. In 2012, due to overwhelming growth we transformed into "FCC" and became a non-profit 501 C4 corporation. In 2019 FCC status was changed to a 501 C3.

Our Signature Rides are on Tuesday Evenings late April through Mid September. We ride at 5:00 and 5:30pm with 5 levels of riders all starting and ending at the same location. There are 20 different starting locations. We ask that riders under 16 ride with an adult. All communication is through e-mail, web site or FaceBook.
