Between July and September we added FOUR new bike commuters and we're now up to 53 members.
Let's welcome (drum roll please):
Kathleen McCandless from the Lawrence Livermore Lab who joined our team in July. Her round trip commute is 10 miles!
Kevin and Yvonne Greenlee of Pleasanton: The Greenlees enjoy opting for the bike in lieu of the car and do many errands on two wheels. Kevin is also a member of the Pleasanton North Rotary Club and appears to be the busiest retired 50-something fellow in town.
Dave Pap Rocki works for Adept Technology in Pleasanton and commutes to work by bike. He was accosted recently by BCC team member Jim Ott who spotted him with a bike in town (he had that bike-commuter look) and invited Mr. Rocki to join the club.
Alex Haag also works at Adept and lives in San Francisco and commutes to work in Pleasanton by BART, then rides his bike to the office from the BART station. He saves 60 car miles every day by using alternative transportation. Alex is our kinda guy! BCC was so impressed we had to see what he looks like, so here he is:
Hey, don't be shy! Send in your photos for our photo file. Seeing real faces helps inspire us all to ride!
In other news, BCC team members managed to commute 1,922 miles (195 trips) in August, quite a drop from July's total of more than 3,300 miles (332 trips). We suspect not all cyclists are reporting their miles since the weather was awesome in August. (It's never to late to add the miles into the totals for a given month, so email Jim!)
Remember, BCC is only as successful as our ability to quantify the miles and trips we all ride. Please email Jim each Friday morning when you arrive at work to report the number of trips for the week. His email is jimott@sbcglobal.net
TOGETHER WE CAN INSPIRE EACH OTHER AND MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE!
