Happy New Year
Make every day a great day,ride a bike.
 
Bike Buddies Cycling Club is the result of two groups of riders and friends merging together with a goal to advance participation in cycling and cycling related activities.  Though we are a licensed United States Cycling Federation club, most of our riders have never raced, nor will they!  Some did not even start to ride a bike until well into their adult lives.  We welcome all skill levels of riding from someone who has never been on a group ride to professional cyclists.  Some members race on the road, some in a velodrome, some are mountain bike racers, some are ultra distance riders, and finally some just like to go out and ride with their friends every Saturday.  Everyone will benefit, have fun, and maybe learn a thing or two about cycling and how to be better.  In the end, we have two main objectives and they are to increase participation in the sport of cycling at any level and to improve our local community.  If either of these objectives sound like something you would be interested in being involved with, come on out and ride with us!

What has our group accomplished?


We have maintained a 2 mile stretch of Willow Glen Road through the San Diego County Adopt a road program since 2003.  We meet every quarter, go for a short ride then begin our road cleanup.  Our final cleanup on Dec. 19 was a blast with 13 of us keeping Willow Glen clean and and safe.

So you think we don't race?
Well, many don't and that is true, but among our group is the Bronze Medalist in the 2007 USPRO Road Race Championship, 2007 Women's National Time Trial Champion, 2007 Junior SOCAL Cup Champion, 2007 Women category 3/4 SOCAL Cup Champion, 5 2007 California State Champion titles, and the 2008 California State Time Trial Champion Jr Men 17/18.
 
That's great and all but what about the other riders?
 
Well, we have two California Triple Crown riders (3 200 mile rides in the same year).  An Everest Challenge winner, Alpine challenge winner, several riders who do a minimum of 1 century a month. And a bunch of people that are happy getting to the bridge and back each weekend! Somehow it all works and we all ride together and have a good time.

This Saturday's ride will start from the usual spot at the coffee grounds.The weather forecast looks to start around the low to mid 40's so dress to stay warm. 
 
The Club leadership met last night at VP Richard Johnson's house to discuss club business.  I will be sending out the minutes now after every meeting to our members. Our clothing order will be placed in the next 10 days and I look forward to a speedy turn around. 

 

Hector is going out soon with the club clothing order.  Click on the Club Information tab at the top of this page, scroll down to the Clothing order form, print it out and mail your selections and a check to the club's PO Box.  Given the short time remaining, drop Hector an email at hannibalhector@mac.com to confirm.
