End of Season Party – Thank you Sam & Debbie!

A big thanks to Sam and Debbie Beck for hosting this year’s End of Season Party at their home on Signal Mountain. It was a smashing success, thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended!

The day’s festivities began with a choice of three ride distances – short, intermediate and long – led by Donna Killian (subbing in for Tony Thompson), Alan Voss, and Richard Russell.

The weather was perfect for riding, with plenty of sunshine highlighting the beautiful fall foliage which is beginning to appear in abundance atop the mountain.

Post ride, members feasted on Sam’s delicious BBQ pork, smoked chicken and portobello mushroom burgers, along with a bounty of sides and desserts supplied by club members.

Sitting around the fire pit, chatting with friends, enjoying the live music of bluegrass band Smokey Holler – we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Volunteer Opportunity

The Cycle Sequatchie Century & 3 Mtn Challenge is the CBC’s biggest fundraiser and we need our members’ help to ensure its success.

Can you be a friendly face at a rest stop, helping to prepare and serve snacks and drinks to ensure that participants are hydrated and fueled along the ride?

Can you help riders make correct turns and safely navigate road crossings by serving as a course marshal?

How about helping with packet pickup the morning of the event?

Every volunteer will receive an event t-shirt along with food and beer tickets.

Bakers! One more area of need that is not listed on the signup website: The three CBC-sponsored rest stops are known for the delicious homemade baked goods provided by our club members. If you are able to help with this, please email Sharon Russell.

Thanks in advance!
