good turnout and weather, thanks for joining us! Remember to check out the club message

- Saturday ride; 47 mile intermediate to
advanced ride from Redondo
around PV and then our normal Sunday Fun
Ride starting at 9:00 (remember the time change, Spring ahead). The mid-week rides
opportunities - Please consider joining us for a hilly “advanced”
20+ mile ride on Wednesday starting at 3:00 from the Catalina Coffee and/or
for a moderate flat/fast 24 mile ride each Thursday at 9:00, starting from
the Manhattan Beach Pier and ride with some incredible fun people; we hope to
see you there! Note: Remember to bring water and a snack
for the longer rides - The BCCClub rides year-round and rides seldom get
canceled due to
bad weather. but, a good way to determine if the ride is “on or
off” is, if it’s raining and/or if the streets have puddles from the
night before, the ride is off. Also, it’s always a good idea to check
the weather forecast before the ride and dress appropriately! |
