10 Years of Fun—Phil Manger’s Greencastle Great Escape!
Where to begin with all the great things about the Phil’s Great Escape weekend? Since Phil is one of the BBC’s all-time great route-masters, we should begin with the routes and riding. This year’s 29 different—and great—routes epitomize just what makes so many of us return year after year! From the wonderful mountain views—without all the climbing—to the quiet country roads, Phil’s expertise, time, and effort on the routes is clear. From historic sites--Fort Loudon, to ice cream—Misty Meadows and Mikies, and even sometimes bucolic fields full of buffalo, this second weekend of June always had so much to offer.
Website Security
As you're well aware, our BBC website was hacked recently. The site's owner/administrator Will Hudson took it down immediately and worked diligently to find the source and location of this attack. He was able to find the single file where a code was introduced by rogue actors to link to malicious sites and fixed it. The Website is now back up and secure.
Although, according to my understanding of Will's explanation, no members' personal information was compromised, I would recommend that you change your password for accessing the site as soon as you can.
Thank you for your patience during this short-lived crisis!
