Pat Lapensee Recognition
The Baltimore Bicycling Club appreciates the years of service that Patrick Lapensee has given the club.
Pat was elected to be President of the Executive Board in the Fall of 2019 and he commenced his first term at the same time as the COVID virus reached pandemic proportions in early 2020. Pat led the Board through the critical decisions taken so the BBC could respond to the pandemic shutdowns. Pat served as BBC President for another three years and then for an additional two years as Past President.
Pat – thanks for your many years of service to our bike club.
Washington County Getaway - 2025
I would like to report on the Washington County Getaway Event held
October 17,18, and 19 in Hagerstown, Maryland where all rides started at Washington County Regional Park. The sky was clear blue for most of the weekend, with the air in the AM being crisp but complemented by the
emerging color changes of the leaves. It was a scenic delight to
experience the Hagerstown Valley to say the least.
BBC Picnic July 20, 2025
This year it wasn't rain or shine; it was rain and shine.
The nine rider 16&Over group took one glance at the sky, agreed rain was likely, and rode off doing the Russell’s Three Taverns 59 mile loop. The rain waned after a wet 30 minutes. The group rolled fast with a tailwind, only to be challenged by the climb over Stone Jug. Return from Biglerville featured some impressive cloudscapes with mountain views. A fine ride followed by a fine picnic!
Ride leaders and riders for the 38 and 27 mile routes were studying the weather app radar to make an informed decision about when to head out. With a high level of confidence that the rain would cease at 9 am, the rides were postponed allowing the riders on the 38 and 27 mile routes to depart under almost sunny skies. The roads dried quickly and the weather turned into a fine day for all.
Civil War Century - September 6, 2025
Thank you to all the volunteers who made this a successful event! You uphold its national reputation, attracting the enthusiastic riders pictured above, who traveled all the way from San Diego! While the majority come from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia, we attracted riders from twenty-three states! Our final registration count approached 900 and we netted a positive financial outcome on the same order as last year. This year we had good luck with the weather with just a passing sprinkle in the afternoon.
Spokes, Sunshine, and Smiles in Chestertown
Eager bicyclists gathered in Chestertown, Maryland for a wonderful, long weekend of cycling, entertainment, food, and lots of socializing. Let’s talk about the riding! The level-to-rolling terrain, lightly trafficked roads, wide shoulders, beautiful farmland, picturesque small towns, and lovely water views all made for great cycling.
