| | | With Covid cases on the rise again, we'd like to remind our members of the following: - Please do not participate in club rides if you are not feeling well.
- If you test positive for Covid after you've been on a club ride, please send a message to president@bccclub.org indicating the date and the ride you were on, so that the information can be disseminated.
- Effective October 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022, only BCCC members and guest members vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus will be allowed to participate in club-sponsored rides and attend BCCC social events.
Those members who do not agree with this temporary policy change may request a full refund of their $25 membership fee or ask for a 4 month membership extension. This temporary policy will remain in effect until January 31, 2022, at which time it will be reevaluated by the BCCC Board to determine if it needs to be continued or modified.
Questions or comments can be sent to the BCCC Board at the following address: Board@BCCClub.org.

Cafe Bonaparte is a perfect place to stop for refreshment after a ride, conveniently located in Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza. We bake. We cook. We do everything. IN HOUSE! We pride ourselves on preparing and baking everything fresh. All ingredients are prepared in-house and cooked from scratch! We make our pastries and bread daily. | | | | | It All Starts With A Clean Chain Part 3 By Robert Pacifici | OK, home stretch! Before you start the process of remounting the chain onto the bike, make sure it is well-lubricated with whatever product you plan on using on a going forward basis. I’ll do a future article on lubrication (get your mind out of the gutter!), but suffice it to say for the chain I’m a big fan of using a product called Squirt.
