What is the BCC?

Cycling in the summer can be about casual riding, sprinting, spinning, big-ring hammerfests or what ever your chosen type of riding is. The BCC was founded for the Sole Purpose to Network Cyclists. It has grown into a successful club which accommodates Riders at almost all skill/fitness levels. Everyone should be able to participate and have fun @ their respective levels.

BCC Fundamentals/Values:

1. Safety First - Rides/Routes are designed with Riders in Mind. Departure times are early because it helps minimize traffic(Cars/People) resulting less distractions.

2. Riding Etiquette - All Members are aware of other members safety and enjoyment. Signaling is a Must and Staying within One Lane on a Double Lane Road(4 or More Riders) and Single File on a One Lane Road.

3. Members Input - Members are encouraged be involved and help host rides. The more the better. It gives New Members the chance to choose Rides they want to do and ultimately gets you on your bike more!

4. Good Times - The BCC is not just a cycling club. It's a bunch of people that like to have fun! There will be Planned Trips, Events etc. throughout the season. We will always have our "Beer Nights"!

Cheers,

Dan.

Thanks Trish. Can relate totally to your blog (except the hair thing - much easier when you don't have a lot!). For me, as an added bonus I have a shower at work and keep my "work clothes" there, so I don't think I have many excuses not to ride. I t…

Around the world triathalon

Have you ever wondered if anyone has ever done a tri around the world?... well now you know that yes there is one man who will swim across the Atlantic ocean, ride across Siberia, and then run across Canada. Anyone interested in joining the lonely athlete? Check out the link to the story,

On Cryogenics Redux

For a frankly bizarre past few months, I was beginning to think that global climate change might make my winter commute a little more pleasant. Well what can I say, winter finally struck back on Friday, struck back with a vicious sort of vengeance I had previously thought only a lover once scorned could match.

With the exception of the days right after a crash (thanks to street car tracks covered in snow at the pens on Queen at Greenwood – hit concurrently with a urgent email that sent my black… Continue

I Heart Winter Riding

The other night at Watts Up, Brooke mentioned that she and Patryk had seen me out on my bike as they drove east to their work and I pedaled west to mine. "I don't know how you do it!" she said. What I think she probably meant was "I don't know WHY you do it..." So, Brooke, here's a long-winded (sorry!) answer:

I'm stubborn
A longtime treehugger who lived for years without a car, I used to take the TTC everywhere. Over time, I realized I was more in love with the idea of pub… Continue

Follow-up from Jan 28 Meeting

In listening to the discussion last night about the BCC’s interest in racing, sponsorship and further evolution, I gave considerable thought to my recent experience with the nutritional system Isagenix. I’m just finishing a thirty day trial of this system after entering into it with a fair degree of skepticism. Triathlon coach, Steve Bentley recommended the system to me as a way of gaining 10-14% improvements in performance (measured… Continue

New Arrival to the Michener Family!

I'm so pleased to announce that at 4:48PM on January 23, a new bundle of joy arrived into my life. Weighing in at 17.6lbs, the stork, also know as Cervelo, delivered a brand new 2010 S1.

The S1 and I went out this morning for a short 45 minute ride to become acquainted with one another. I can't wait to introduce all of the BCCers to her on the next club ride.

Since the arrival of the S1, my wife and children have said that I've been sporting a perma-smile. Looking forward to spending some qual… Continue

On Wet Roads

I was actually going to entitle this, On The Importance Of A Dirty Bike, as I have documented elsewhere I spent something like 16 hours cleaning my ride over Christmas Eve and Christmas day (hey it beats watching movies). Well after an effort like that as one might imagine I was somewhat hesitant to take my steed out on anything less than dry as bone roads.

Well I was set on getting some riding in… Continue
