July 2022 BBC Picnic
In mid-July about 150 bicyclists gathered at Taneytown Memorial Park for our club’s annual bike ride and picnic. Participants could choose between four routes with lengths of 27, 36, 48, or 60 miles. Some of us got caught in a brief rain shower but we were almost dried out before arriving back at the park. This picnic was our first single day event of 2022 and it was a wonderful opportunity for many of us to see friends who ride in different categories.
Thanks to Bill Blankenship who coordinated the event again this year, with assistance from Kate Farber and Mary Ryan.
BBC 2022 SUMMER PICNIC
BBC 2021 Volunteer Recognition
Each year we recognize all of our volunteers including ride leaders, event coordinators, and club organizers. Without their efforts our club could not function. Unfortunately, due to rising covid rates at the beginning of the winter, for the second year in a row, we were not able to host our end-of-year banquet in person.

BBC Awards Dinner and Annual Meeting
Cancelled due to Covid
Unfortunately, due to changing Covid-19 conditions and restrictions imposed by Baltimore County on the functioning of the Oregon Ridge Lodge, we are not able to use Oregon Ridge Lodge as the venue for an indoor dinner which is part of our Awards Dinner and Annual Meeting.
With widespread access to Covid-19 vaccinations, along with a sharp decline in Covid-19 cases over much of the summer, the BBC Board and our event coordinator had confidence that we could hold this event including an indoor meal.
2021 Civil War Century – A Success!
Approximately 1200 riders enjoyed the hospitality of our club’s signature event! COVID forced adjustments to ensure the safety of both the riders and volunteers. Luck was on our side with the weather, but the real secret sauce is our fabulous volunteers that make it all work so well – THANK YOU and we hope that you can part of the recipe in 2022!
