2024 Season Opener
Sunday, April 14
The 4th annual Season Opener was a huge success. Strong headwinds throughout the day couldn’t deter over 100 riders.
Those who attended the after-ride social enjoyed a variety of bagels, cookies, delicious mandarin oranges, and especially each other’s company.
As word about the Season Opener has spread, we were happy to welcome some new BBC members including a group from Pennsylvania.
Thanks to our outstanding ride leaders:
- Adriana Pukalski (10-12 – 27 miles)
- Nabil Ali (All Pace Long – 38 miles)
- Gene Young (13-15 – 42 miles)
- Bob Rohlfing (16 & Over – 47 miles)
Thanks to Steve Zeldin for everything he does to support this event.

A Note From the BBC President
25 January 2024
The new BBC Board had its first meeting in early January to tackle several pending agenda items. For the sake of transparency, I intend to periodically inform the membership of developments that could be of interest to most. This will consist of a) what has been accomplished, b) what is in the works, and c) what are your needs, in other words, an ongoing process of “needs assessment.”
What has been accomplished:
2023 END OF YEAR CELEBRATION
115 BBC members and a few guests attended the End of Year Celebration on November 11 at Oregon Ridge. The afternoon festivities began at 1:00 as people crowded into the former ski lodge. The buffet lunch provided by Andy Nelson’s Barbecue was plentiful and delicious, with enough food for people to enjoy second servings. Graul’s carrot cake, as always, did not disappoint.
Larry Kenney gave an excellent presentation about the 2023 Civil War Century (CWC) finances and rider survey feedback. The proceeds from this event are a significant source of income for the BBC budget.
