Ride InformationGreencastle Great Escape: 2016 Edition
The second annual Greencastle Great Escape drew a 50 percent increase in registered riders over the previous year, with many new faces among the participants. At first it looked like the weather was going to put a damper on our riding, but – once again – we managed to dodge the bullet and enjoyed three glorious days of cycling in south central Pennsylvania's beautiful Cumberland Valley. Read more about the riding, food, and fun in Phil Manger's article.
2016 Kent County Spring Fling
BBC's Kent County Spring Flight (KCSF) was a great success. The weather was beautiful and even the rain predicted for Monday held off. A highlight is that Frank and Kathy Anders who ran KCSF for ten years participated in 2016. See photos of cyclists at the Washington College Campus. We are looking forward to an even better event in 2017.
2014 Corn Roast
BBC cyclists enjoy a post-ride lunch at the Union Mills Homestead in Westminster. A total of 124 cyclists participated in the rides before Corn Roast. See ride leader's report for more details.
Beware of Hogweed!
Tis the season for roadside stops, but be aware of the vegetation alongside the road. The plant pictured here in this photo from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is known as giant hogweed, and it can cause a rash worse than poison ivy. BBC member Lydia Cunningham shares her experiences with it in this article. If you’ve seen giant hogweed in Maryland, please contact the Plant Protection and Weed Management Section of the Maryland Department of Agriculture at (410) 841-5920
Firefighter 50
Several members of the BBC took part in the annual Firefighter 50 cycling event on July 27, 2014. It always is an excellent fully supported ride with a bull roast, all the trimmings, and local homemade ice cream sandwiches! Pictured left to right are Rich Burns, Bill Wiesand, George Cordutsky, Marty Zemel, Beverly Feig, Frank Blatt and Larry Kenney. A great time was had by all on the 54 mile ride!
