As we welcome 2022, I am honored to be chosen as your club president. I am privileged to be part of such a motivated and committed team. Thank you to everyone on the 2021 board and Allan, you have done an outstanding job as president for the past three years, and looking forward as you continue on the board as co-vice president with Alfredo, certainly a winning team! With Allan and the board's guidance and leadership, the club has thrived, in spite of the challenges we faced with the COVID pandemic. We persevered, had rides going out according to guidelines and riding became everyone’s Happy Place.
Welcome to the new board members for 2022. As a team, we will work together to keep the club strong and thriving. We welcome your suggestions to make our club even better. By working as a team, we can be proud of our accomplishments and look forward to a bright future together. Let focus on the rides, and getting more leaders and getting volunteers.
We are a volunteer based organization and we need volunteers. Volunteer in community events like the bike jumble and Summer Streets. Don’t hesitate to reach out with your feedback and suggestions on ways to make the club better. Please get involved, you can reach out to volunteer@5bbc.org. It takes a village and teamwork. If you want to make it happen, please volunteer. Great ideas without the resources to implement them are - not great ideas alas. If you have an idea and need help to make it happen - Tia Tyler is our volunteer coordinator and will be happy to help you find others to make it happen.
If you would like to get involved in helping us promote the club, please reach out to membership@5bbc.org or communications@5bbc.org.

We are the friendliest bike club! Riding with the 5bbc opens a whole new world – we discover new places, make new friends, we are foodies, we are all about adventure and all about safety.
I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as President of this great club. Looking forward to an exciting year ahead, with an amazing board.
Best wishes in the year ahead - Toby.
