Spring Ride to North Beach
 | Pictured are some of the riders from the April 28th 10 to 12 mph North Beach Ride. The group stopped at Sweet Sue's Bake Shop in North Beach for sandwiches and bakery treats. The cupcakes were delicious and at least one rider savored an eclair to power the return trip. Joan Grindell (not pictured) led the ride on a loop from Southern High School through scenic Anne Arundel County countryside to the quiet waterfront destination at the mid-point. You can tell by the mixed apparel that the arrival of spring was still uncertain. |
Bikeshare Funding: Open for Comment through April 17
 | Bikesharing is a system in which bicycles are available for shared use between established stations. It provides an affordable option for short distance trips and can help solve the "last mile" problem, connecting public transportation riders to their final destinations. Bikesharing is not a substitute for private bike rental services, but rather it provides an option for short-distance trips. The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board is seeking comments on approving funding for various Maryland Bikeshare projects. See this Bikeshare flyer for further information and how you can share your thoughts and ideas. |
Counting Past 100
 | According to Greg Conderacci (pictured), BBC members are some of the strongest riders in Maryland. Yet when Conderacci asks these stronger, faster, and younger riders if they'd like to venture out on a ride of more than 100 miles, they will often recoil in horror. Read Counting Past 100 for a convincing testimony that the miles beyond 100 are pretty much the same as the miles on this side of the century. |
Cross Country Self-Contained Touring
 |
Last fall BBC members Errol and Berenice Rushovich (pictured) rode their bicycles across the United States on a Southern Tier tour with Adventure Cycling Association. In this photo they are heading out from Fort Davis, Texas on an October morning. This was a self-contained tour in which riders carried their own gear and had no vehicle support.

 | We set a quick pace on the first leg down to Crownsville along the WB&A Rd, Burns Crossing and Generals hwy. The morning traffic was light.
