The Prez Sez By Joe Fischer Thank you everyone who volunteered and helped make the 2018 Tour de Cure a success. I am told they received a lot of positive feedback from the riders.

2 The Prez Sez By Joe Fischer Thank you everyone who volunteered and helped make the 2018 Tour de Cure a success. I am told they received a lot of positive feedback from the riders. Judging by the pictures I saw on Facebook, our club was well represented as participants, ride marshals, and staffing one of the rest stops. Thanks again to Julie Franco for organizing the rest stop. Julie also coordinated the design and purchase of a BVBC feather banner with our club name, logo and colors. It looks great and Julie got a good deal on it too even our treasurer Dean Mowery was impressed! We will use it at events like the W&S Expo and the Tour de Cure, and to serve as a rallying point for outdoor social events and club meetings such as our next membership meeting in September. We had a good turnout for our July club meeting at the Estabrook Park beer garden and everyone I talked to enjoyed themselves. We started with a bike ride at 6 pm followed by beer, food and socializing. And in-between we managed to squeeze in a membership meeting. Since that worked out so well we decided to do it again in September. More details to follow. It has been an especially busy month but I suppose that is true every year during the midsummer. In addition to our meeting at Estabrook Park and the Tour de Cure, we had our annual kayak outing, a bunch of members participated in the River West 24 for those that don t know that s 24 hours, not miles, and I have to give a shout out to the club members that rode the 175 mile RAW (Ride Across Wisconsin) finishing in under 14 hours. Anybody have a calculator? Congratulations you guys!! I am not mentioning names because I know I will leave somebody out. Anybody who did either of those rides doesn t deserve to be left out. Linda Roessl, Rich Temple, and I will be riding the SepTimber ride in Eagle River on September 8. It starts and ends at the Tribute Brewing Company in Eagle River and is 48 and 30 miles. (If there is anybody named Jens leading this ride, he will be wearing lederhosen, not bike shorts.) Let one of us know if you are interested in joining us on a nice ride in the north woods. See you at the next meeting! Look for the feather banner to find us in the park! And let s keep having fun out there! Joe
