Sunshine and Smiles—BBC’s Season Opener 2026

 

   

Thanks to BBC volunteer extraordinaire Gloria Epstein for putting on another great event to start the cycling calendar! After a long, cold winter, over 90 club members were very ready to ride and socialize in Taneytown. Four led rides from 27 to 47 miles helped riders work up an appetite for the delicious bagels and toppings, cookies, and fruit after the ride. Everywhere you turned people were having fun with friends old and new—catching up and planning for adventures to come.
