 FIRST ANNUAL BCC TURKEY TROT

 
small logoJoin Blade Thanksgiving morning for the first annual BCC Turkey Trot.

We'll meet at Amante at 8:30 and ride out to Hygiene and back. This ride is approximately 30 miles and 2:30 hours so you'll make it back in time for dinner.   
 
Don't sit at home eyeing that chocolate pecan pie with the ameretto whipped cream your mother in law brought for desert.  You can't justify the calories unless you go on this ride! For any questions, call Blade at 303.912.2195.
MEET THE BCC VOLUNTEER LEADERS
 
A lot happens behind the scenes of our organized rides and cycling advocacy efforts.  We are an all-volunteer organization with a team of volunteer leaders (below) committed to serving our members and the cycling community. 

The Club's mission is to (1) provide recreational road bikers a safe, fun, and social way to ride with a group;  (2) promote road biking safety in the rural areas of the County where we ride through infrastructure improvements and road safety education for motorists and cyclists;  and (3) train our ride leaders and members in cycling safety knowledge, courtesy, and skills. 
 
            President of the Board
Donald Cicchillo is the Club founder and has tirelessly and persistently developed the Club for the past three years.  He has supervised the Clubs IT development, secured corporate sponsors, organized events, recruited volunteers and members, and lead rides.  Donald has been a real estate broker and developer in Boulder for the last ten years.  No one has ridden on more BCC rides than Donald.
 
            Board Member and Advocacy Director
Jim Miers has spearheaded the Club's advocacy efforts, membership marketing, and volunteer leadership development.  He is a retired entrepreneur and attorney and has significant volunteer management experience.  He has been consistently riding with the club since the beginning three years ago and hosts the Wednesday noon NCAR Repeats Plus ride, which is now scheduled to go all year (if above 40 and below 90 degrees).
 
            Ride Leader Coordinator
Blade Hanak is the Club's most active and enthusiastic ride leader and has taken on the responsibility for training and coordinating the Club's ride support team.  Blade is a computer security manager for IBM.  He is the Alberto Contador of the Club, so the only question is who will come in second on the BCC New Year's NCAR Six Pack Hill Climb. 
 
            Safety Director
Dan Glaser is chair of the Club's Safety Committee, which sets safety policy for the Club's internal rides and external advocacy efforts.  Dan owns a commercial green lighting consulting business that offers proprietary design software.  He has taught at Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute and Parsons School of Design.  Dan is a fearless and dedicated bike commuter with experience riding in the 5 Boroughs Cycling Club in New York City.
 
            Route Coordinator
Barry Janzen is the Club's most committed, long distance bike commuter, riding from north of Niwot to Google most work days.  He creates safe and fun routes for Club rides and works with the County Cartographer and Department of Transportation to create safer bike routes in the unincorporated areas of the County for both recreational road bikers and commuters.  He works for that friendly company that dominates cyberspace, Google, so be nice to him.
 
            IT/Communications Director
Eli Madrone is in charge of the Club's website, email-marketing system (Constant Contact), and membership relationship management software (Salesforce).  Eli is Communications Coordinator for Downtown Boulder, a non-profit merchant's association, and is a committed bike commuter.  Eli has challenged the other gourmet cooks in the club (Dan, Blade, Alma, and Sue) to a chef's smack down.  The members will decide via a blind taste test.  Before you place any bets with him, remember he spent five years as a professional chef.
