    Traditionally, the Memorial Day Ride hosted by Jim and Kathy Vozga, has always been followed by a backyard party at the Vozga’s. However, this year due to the uncertainty of the Covid situation, Jim has decided to lead the ride without a party. The start time will remain 10 AMas it appears on the website schedule, and the start location is still Clarence Middle School.

    This year the Clarence Center Memorial Day parade starts at 11 AM and will block Main St for a couple of hours. As a result, the short ride only has been revised to avoid crossing Main St around 11 AM.

    See you there!

      How We Roll This Year

        A brief reminder to those who weren't able to attend the NFBC spring meeting: We WILL be asking members to sign in at rides and we WILL be tabulating club miles ridden.

        Our hope is topull the club back together after the disjointed times of the pandemic. Meeting together at the stipulated ride time, riding the same route together, and coming back to the parking lot, perchance to share some stories and a refreshment, is much of what makes the NFBC a club. It is what makes a bike ride a social occasions.

        This means we need members to volunteer to be ride leaders for the weekend rides. This is light duty: show up half an hour before ride time, distribute cue sheets, oversee member sign-ins, introduce any new members who might show up, and review general safety instructions including any specific information about hazards on the route.

        Afterward, mail in the sign-in sheets and return the ride packet to a member of the ride committee -- especially me or Liz Skelton.

        Most of our regular week day morning and evening rides have regular ride leaders already volunteered, but if you have a burning desire to be of service, please let Liz or me know you are interested.

        We look forward to seeing everyone in the parking lot, if not on the road.
