2012 PLEASURE RIDE SCHEDULE

Due to liability issues, only current BBCH members may ride on BBCH rides.

Please see RIDE POLICY.


Don't forget there are plenty of other opportunities to ride, too:

  • Before each of our summer outdoor meetings, folks are given the opportunity to get in a pleasure ride if they wish. These are usually organized at the previous month's meeting.
  • Additionally, many of our Trail Projects provide the opportunity to ride and, perhaps, even to camp out.
  • Other BCH chapters' and other organizations' rides can be listed here, too. These dates are highlighted in yellow.
