SPRING HAS SPRUNG
We’re back baby! Two rides down, many more to go. Feels crazy to say we’re 25% through ‘25 but here we are. Same van, new look. New Babes rides. A SXSW party to remember. A trip to Dallas. It’s been a good year so far and we’re just getting started.
In stark contrast to last year, we’ve lucked out so far with the weather. Mostly. A quick pivot in February meant sunshine and blue skies to kick off the year with DT Swiss and a whole fleet of new wheels to boot. If you haven’t seen our Ride Leaders rolling around on ‘em, chances are it’s ‘cause they’re goin’ too fast.
A new year means a new approach. From weekly to biweekly and alternating routes, the Babes are back and better than ever. Mt. Bonnell who? Plus the first Saturday Babes ride was a smashing success. Don’t forget to give Jordie a high five next time you see her.
SXSW was a weekend to remember. A member exclusive happy hour to kick it all off and we kept the party going right through Saturday afternoon. We’re teaming up with our friends over at EF Adventures for 2025 and beyond, so they hosted us at their Austin HQ for a little look into the brand and what opportunities lie ahead for the BC community.
Things were shaping up to be big on Saturday morning and that didn’t change. Big groups, high speeds, and a ripping tailwind home. What a time!
But the real fun started as soon as we stepped off the pedals. A bar tab on EF, live music from the one and only DJ Grossyall, and our first cask beer collab with Central Machine Works. A little beer garden renovation couldn’t keep the fun away and if all goes to plan we’ll be sharing pints in the shade at the next one.
And just before we closed the books on a big March, we took a few Ride Leaders up to D-town for some flatter miles and even more wind. Friday evening at Manhattan Project feels like a staple at this point – what better way to carb-load than a couple o’ pints? Saturday morning saw the biggest group we’ve had yet in Dallas, and we can’t wait to keep the energy going through the rest of the year. Worth the drive on 35!
April can’t come soon enough…
