Celebrating athletic achievement that betters ourselves, our teammates and our community.
Year in review message from your Leadership Committee;
We hope this edition of the SBCA weekly newsletter finds you all surviving the pandemic, if not thriving. We write this week, with our usual weekly update but also to give you all a brief update about the SBCA club. The club has never been stronger. Almost 400 members deep now on our weekly team mailer. Our new director of operations – Stephanie Snow – who took over mid-pandemic, is doing a fantastic job. Our new director for SBCA social media, Dylan Pelletier – has grown our followings on FB (4513 followers) and Instagram (1325 followers). The community bike shop, under Jason Stratton’s leadership, has also gone from strength to strength. Thank you to all these leaders, to the entire SBCA leadership committee, and thank you - to each of you - for your participation in SBCA. You may have seen the end of year post but it is worth repeating in part – even during a pandemic, in 2020, you all helped raise $22,362 for 100% local causes! 250 bikes were integrated back into the local cycling community. Without a single case of COVID having been linked to any of our 2020 events. Thank you all – for all you do. As for the mothership. What do we need from you all? We need you to come see us. To drink draft beer with us. To buy beer to go from us. To stay a while and eat, inside (in what is probably Springfield’s most spacious and safe eating environment), or outside on either of the now-heated patios. But let us not for one moment underestimate the importance of this ask. To survive, local places need local people, more now than ever. So here’s to an awesome 2021! Good luck in all your athletic endeavors! Hopefully see you soon out on the roads/trails! #fortheloveofsport #wereallydomakebeerforaftertoo

Join SLACK . It really is the best way to keep in touch with teammates and to coordinate group activities.
