Seasons Changing

The last hot waves of Summer are rolling through as we transition to the more temperate Fall and Winter months.   October means Foxy's Fall Century!  Word on the street is: This is Michael Borgg's 5th and final year as Foxy's Director and I hope you'll all join me in thanking him for a job very well done.  

Better yet, tell him yourself the next time you see him.  Use all your influence with your favorite weather deity to make the 18th a perfect day for cycling.  And best of all, you can help make this his fifth straight successful Foxy's by volunteering for a few hours on ride day. 

Volunteerism is the stuff the DBC is made of, and runs on, at every level of the Club.  The generosity, skill, concern, experience (I could go on) of people like you.  It's what gives us the gumption to put on a three ring circus like Foxy's, and make it run like a Swiss watch.  It's a great feeling to be part of something like that.
