That’s right, you can attend our HBC Banquet for free. Why? Because the HEART of HBC is our leaders. Without them we wouldn’t have a club. The OPS Committee wants to recognize our ride leaders and the prominent place they hold in this club.
Any HBC Approved and Trained Ride Leader that has led 5 rides and submitted ride reports over the current year will go to our banquet for free as our Thank you.

First and foremost the purpose and joy of our HBC is riding! Now that our main cycling season has started so have a few problems that crop up every year that takes this joy out of our rides. This is a reminder to ALL LEADERS and ALL RIDERS to RESPECT the ride category you are leading or riding in. If you feel the group you are riding in is too slow for you, move up to a faster group. Leaders please lead your group according to the SLOWEST rider WITHIN your category.
