It’s time to reflect on the 7th year of what is invariably considered the most competitive event during the mountain bike season. Grab a PBR. This is going to take a few minutes. Once again we had perfect weather and even better attendance. Some didn't even want to leave! There were smiles all around along with the occasional stream of a few people’s stomach contents. If you have pictures that you want to share feel free to post a link on the Facepage event or send me the link and I will get it out there. In the end riding was done, much PBR was drank, a killer potluck was consumed, the bonfire and remaining beer was enjoyed, and a good time was had!
For one of us the day didn’t go as planned so please send Jin some healing vibes so he can get back on the bike in time for winter. He is a great guy and we are all bummed that his day ended short.
Extra shirt order instructions are at the bottom.

Extra shirt order: Please email me with your order at j w henry 21 at gmail dot com. Specify M, W or youth and size. I will place the order tomorrow morning (11/3). If you did not get a shirt as a participant please include that. I have a list that I would like to confirm. All other shirts are $10 due when you receive the shirt.
Check back next May for the next BYC date!
Also Bruce is missing his 1976 gold medal. If you have information regarding its whereabouts please contact Caitlyn Jenner. It’s likely that a rabid fan just wanted a piece of history.
