BAC Members Ride Across State(s)
Boone Folks at the Outer Banks
Great job to Peter AshlineGwen Honeycutt, Cobb MilnerChalle Talbot and other local cyclists who recently completed 496 miles from the Mountains to the Coast in Cycle NC. A few others rode sections of the route: Chuck Hendrix, Steve Lambert, and Earl McMahon

Earlier in the Fall, Clymer had another wee ride worth noting.  In August, members of our community gathered to "send him off" before he left for San Diego for the start of his SOLO coast to coast ride across the USA.  After seven weeks of pedaling, he finished his journey on
Steve in AZ
 
Bald Guy in Lexington, NC
September 20 in Jacksonville Beach, FL. 

 

In another epic ride, Don Cox (aka Bald Guy) finished his ride to increase awareness for Beans for Bikes by pedaling from Wilmington, NC uphill to Boone. On October 2nd, several locals met him in Wilkes to complete the final climb up and over the Blue Ridge. CLICK HERE to find out more and to consider donating to the cause. 
Way to go everyone ! !

All Smiles at Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

On October 2nd, many local kids, parents, and other adults met at Rocky Knob Park for IMBA Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. Kids had the opportunity to ride a Pump Track specifically designed for the event, and advanced riders were able to tackle the trails. One very fortunate kid walked away with THIS bike!  Thanks to all the sponsors and great leadership of the BAC Community (particularly the Marland Family) in making this annual event such a success.
