It is a tribute to all of the members of the Club, and especially to those who are longtime members, that it has been in existence for 50 years! It is a tremendous accomplishment, especially when considering the changes that have taken place in bicycling and in general in that span of time. Let s keep the spirit of the NFBC and begin to adapt for the next 50 years.

2 January/February 2019 We Ride Every Day Page 2 Happy New Year, NFBC! I hope you came through the holidays well-rested and ready for a new year. If you were too busy to relax, now is the time to rest while you anxiously wait for decent riding weather. As the temperatures fluctuate, I am hoping that we can have some sun, along with 9:00 AM temperatures of more than 45 degrees, on a weekend, so the unofficial rides can start. OK, I realize that many of you don t even need those nicer days to fall on the weekend, but alas, my free time is more limited. The Ride Committee will be getting together sometime in middle to late January to create the year s weekend ride schedule. We have many volunteers who host parties after a ride. If you are interested in hosting one of these parties at your house or at some other location, now is a good time to talk to, or Liz Skelton so we can work it into the schedule early will be the 50 th Anniversary of NFBC. John Tjahjadi has been enthusiastically designing a commemorative jersey and matching shorts for us. You have probably seen the designs on Facebook or in our Yahoo group . We are working to find a time and place to hold a fit kit party, where John will have samples of the various garments, but not in our design, so you can check out the sizing before you order. The time and place is not confirmed yet, but it will likely be the weekend of January Once we do this, the Primal Custom shop will be open for us to place our orders. I look forward to a great, safe year of riding to come. Brenda President s Message

Those who attend bring a dish to share, a beverage of their choice, and funds for the kitty to offset the expenses of the host. Bring a lawn chair.
