Biking On with Don Mobley, BCLC Club President
The calendar says it’s spring, but snow is coming down as I look out the window. Warm, sunny weather can’t be far behind as we prepare for another excellent biking season. Check out MeetUp for the latest list of rides and any updates due to weather or time/location changes.
Plans for the 42nd Ramble are well under way, with an excellent working committee leading the charge. There will be a lot of opportunities to contribute to this great event. Your support will help to make this the most successful yet. Visit the “Ramble Updates” page for the most current information.

- When you are out riding, take pictures! Lots of pictures! It’s a great way to capture what BCLC is all about. We will put them together for the holiday party at the end of the year. Pictures of weekly rides, your adventures, your bike leaning on things, or anything that captures all the fun that you have on 2 wheels. Send photos to Robin Martin | martinrobina@gmail.com.
