2018 Winter BCC Concludes


Year round bike riders, you rock! We made it through a pretty gnarly February, and the numbers prove what we're made of. 11 days with rain, 7 days with snow, 1 day with high winds, and an average temperature 5 degrees below normal. And still, 214 of us committed to ride, and we rode on a total of 1767 days, for a total of 15,395 miles! We had random prize drawings each Friday, plus Valentine's Day prizes and a Grand Finale prize drawing, with 24 riders receiving gift cards and bike accessories from our sponsors. Thanks everyone, for a great Winter BCC in 2018!
