Vintage photos!

Reminder that THIS THURSDAY is Bike to Work Day. Let's have a good BCC showing! The weather should be good.

The vintage photos of a younger you with a bike are trickling in. Steve Kowalewski and Melissa Ott sent these great photos below. Don't be shy, send me your photos!

Here's Steve circa 1949. Is that an early Trek, Steve?

Here's Melissa in 1997, along with a current photo. Melissa is our youngest BCC member and will be attending U.C. Santa Cruz as a freshman in the Fall. Her dad must be proud.

May is here - time to ride!

Our miles in April (1,382) exceeded March (1,095) as more of us opted for the bike in lieu of that massive ton of minerals and combustion we call our car. Our best month ever was 1,763 miles in October 2009. Can we beat that in May? YES WE CAN!

May 13 is Ride Your Bike to Work Day, so let's try to have a good showing!

New team members: We've had several cyclists join our cause recently. Although I posted these folks to our blog's member roster, we want to officially welcome them! They are Tom Hall, Alma Schiefer, Rick Beaumont, Rob Barnett, Steve Kowalewski, and Peg Miller. Thank you for being the change!

Team member photos: Remember to send in vintage photos of a younger you with a bike. Here's one of Steve Sherman in a photo from a biathalon from 1991. Check out the state-of-the-art helmet, the Magnum P.I. mustache, and the aerodynamic sunglasses. For contrast, I've posted below a more current photo of Steve during his latest Ironman. Send me your photos!
