Spring into Shape: 2019 Annual Social welcomes Spring!
All club members who attended the Annual Spring Social—aptly titled “Spring into Shape,” enjoyed a terrific evening of great socializing, delicious food, and excellent speakers who talked about advocacy efforts for cyclists and others. The event ran smoothly from check-in through the meal, program, and dessert. Forgot to mention that John Isaacs (club treasurer) brought lots of commemorative, 50th anniversary kits (bike jerseys and shorts) and enjoyed brisk sales! Thank you, John.

Club Membership in Ride with GPS
The BBC Executive Board is pleased to inform the membership that beginning in 2018 it had decided to provide a new benefit to Club members by purchasing a club subscription to “Ride with GPS” (RwGPS), a route mapping internet site. This was not a replacement to the current club's cue library, but rather an added benefit. Since then, RwGPS library has been greatly populated with many interesting cycling routes and its use has been enhanced and well utilized by our membership.
Many of you have probably been directed to this site as some of our ride leaders have been posting such links on club ride announcements. By subscribing as a Club to this innovative technology, we have gained a place to store as many routes as ride leaders wish to create and have all routes viewable and easily found on our club account.

BBC Biker In Peru - May 2018
In May 2018 I went to Peru and on 4 days of my trip I biked in the Sacred Valley region between Cusco and Aguas Callientes, the gateway city to Machu Picchu. I used a mountain bike provided by Aspiring Adventures, the tour operator. Younger people on our trip headed to the off road tracks. But as a road biker, I preferred to remain on the asphalt for the 10 + mile descents that we rode each day. High in the Andes, the scenery was majestic.
The 2018 Greencastle Great Escape
Will miracles never cease?
For the fourth year in a row – every year we've held the event, actually – we managed to dodge a weather bullet. But this time, just barely.
Attendance at this year's Greencastle Great Escape was slightly below last year's numbers – a result, no doubt of a very wet and late-arriving Spring. And the forecast for the weekend was not very promising, either: a chance of rain on Friday, and then rain all day on Saturday and Sunday. Even so, almost everybody who had registered for the event showed up, and we even got a few who had not preregistered.
