New Leaders for 2005

In late June, the 5BBC held its annual Leadership Training weekend in the bucolic countryside of upstate New York. One veteran leader, Susan Levine, earned her re-certification and is welcome to once again lead rides. During the weekend, 6 additional candidates passed all the tests and became new leaders: Jonathan Friedman, Dennis Griffin, Beth Katz, Jim Mallard, Kent Mark, and Neal Secher.

In addition to the 7 who earned Leadership stripes, 5BBC now has 5 candidates who were not able to complete the weekend requirement in June. At its July 11 meeting, the 5BBC Executive Board resolved to hold a second Leadership Training weekend in mid-October if at least 4 to 5 candidates will attend.

5BBC leaders are people just like you – who enjoy sharing their love of cycling with others. They’re the folks who help other cyclists enjoy beautiful roads and scenery, favorite lunch stops, beaches, museums, and the special group experience of a 5BBC ride. Leadership is what keeps us riding. 2006 is not that far away, so sign up now!
