The dead line for posting rides for Jan and Feb is fast approaching. If you are thinking of leading any rides during these winter months you only have five more days to post them in time for approval and getting them into our newsletter. FYI: It has been asked if out of state rides would be eligible for club mileage credit. To date, it has been club policy to not award mileage for out of state starts and since we are already into the winter riding cycle we will continue to operate under that same ruling. What are your thoughts on this? Would you, the members of BBTC, like to allow miles earned for out of state rides if they are posted within the guide lines of the ride calendar? Or, does it create an unfair advantage for those fortunate to have the flexibility to go south during the winter months and extend their riding season to year round? I realize not all of us are inspired by the potential to be the high mileage leader of the club but are happy with going out for a fun pedal with good friends on a nice day and don't care either way about the miles. I understand and think that's great, I would still welcome your input on the subject as I begin and continue to learn the role of road captain and work to create rides for every member and bicycling enthusiast. I am looking forward to working and riding with everyone in the coming year! Safe journeys, Rob Y.
