Share the joy of bicycling

Become a 5BBC Leader

Do you enjoy interacting with people, exploring and creating new bike routes, promoting bicycling to all levels of riders and want a great way to give back to the club and the bicycling community? Then becoming a 5BBC Bike Leader is for you.

The 5BBC Leadership course will teach you how to organize and run both day and weekend trips. You’ll learn map reading, ride planning cycling safety, group dynamics and decision-making and develop your leadership style, as well as many other aspects that go into making you a bike leader.

The course, taught by experienced 5BBC leaders, combines classroom instruction with practical riding experience. You don't have to be a strong or fast rider or bicycle repair guru to take the course. That's not what the course is about - it's about leadership. It is strongly recommended that you be able to ride for the better part of a day, and be comfortable riding with a group. If you haven't ridden with us before, you should definitely go on several 5BBC rides to become familiar with how typical club rides take place. (Note: If you are not a member of the 5BBC and wish to take the class, you must become a member prior to the weekend trip part of the course.)

League Cycling Instructors Ed Pino and Liz Baum have scheduled a training course to make you a 5BBC leader. Classes will be held on September 7, 21 and October 5th, 12th and 19th. Mandatory class September 10th plus two day rides. The weekend trip is Oct 28-30th.

We look forward to welcoming future 5BBC ride leaders! For more information, contact Ed and Liz at leadership@5bbc.org
