Calling all Florida Bicycle Club Presidents

The Florida Freewheelers Bicycle Club has generously offered to host a meeting  of all Florida Bicycle Club Presidents in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary Horrible Hundred two-day event November 14-15 in Clermont.  The purpose of the meeting is to share ideas and discuss ways we can all learn from one another on topics ranging from ride management, charity rides, SCOR (Specialized Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation) Chapters, bike education workshops and legislative strategies for 2010. Other agenda items are also welcomed.

The meeting will be held Saturday, November 14, at the Fairfield Inn & Suites from 3:30-5:30 pm. Other activities on Saturday include packet pick-up and registration, and a sponsor/vendor expo at Waterfront Park.  The Horrible Hundred Main Event occurs Sunday, November 15, at Waterfront Park with a Century, 70-mile and 35-mile route options beginning at 8:00 am.

In support of the Florida Bicycle Club Presidents’ meeting, the Florida Freewheelers and the Horrible Hundred will provide one (1) complimentary ride registration to each club for their president or designee if they choose to attend the meeting. Interested individuals should contact Scot Hartle, FFW Executive Director at FFWmail@aol.com, to register for the bike ride, as well as Laura Hallam to RSVP for the meeting at laura@floridabicycle.org.

FBA Board of Director members and staff will facilitate the meeting since FFW President Art Ackerman and Horrible Hundred Director Tom Bargnesi will have their hands full with final preparations for the HH.  They have pledged their support and hope this meeting is the beginning of an annual event.

Please share this information with your club so all clubs are represented at the Florida Bicycle Club Presidents’ meeting. For more information, contact Laura Hallam.
