Hi Olya and Bob,

We would expect any vaccine requirements to come from the organization hosting (and insuring!) the event. ?At?this point we haven’t heard anything about vaccine requirements for events from the leadership of BBC or PPTC. ?We will certainly pass them along as soon as we hear anything.

Thanks,

Laurie and Ed

Just a plea from BBC, Kent Co Spring Fling is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend in Chestertown, MD. This year May 28 -31. Assuming we can go forward with such an event while complying with Covid restrictions.

Please don't schedule Spring Thaw too close to the end of May. No point in competing for riders with two events on MD Eastern Shore.?

Thanks, Peggy & Tom Dymond

One year Spring Thaw was in early May. Mar / Apr is no problem.? Thanks.

Mark, Terry —

We are definitely interested. ?It’s always great to see everyone after a winter layoff and will be doubly so after this damned pandemic.

Good to see the new group getting traction. ??

Thanks,

BBCCrabs and DCTandems group replacement

#1

开云体育

?

Hello fellow tandemists!

?

Yahoo is closing all groups this week, including BBCCrabs and DCTandems.? After some research (thanks Dave H.!) and discussion we have determined that a single joint list on groups.io will be the best replacement. The BBC and PPTC club web sites will still be used to maintain the official ride calendar with route information.

?

Unfortunately, we only have a partial list of the members of the BBCCrabs and DCTandems lists so we have two ways to join:?

-????????? For everyone that we have an email address for, you will receive an invite tomorrow, 12/14, to join the new [email protected] group.? Instructions on joining are included in the invite.? If you do not wish to be part of this new group, simply ignore the invite.?

-????????? If you do not receive an invite or have friends who were not on the old list(s) but would like to be on the new list, the list is visible to the public.? Go to /g/B-W-Tandems and select the ‘Join this Group’ button.

?

We miss seeing you all and hope to be able to get back to holding tandem rides in 2021!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

?

Thanks,

Mike and Evie – CRABS coordinators

Ed and Laurie – WABITS coordinators
