Don't let winter get you down! Bundle up and go on a winter ride with TCBC, or huddle under a warm blanket and plan ahead for all the fun TCBC events coming up in the next few months.
 Catch up with your cycling friends at the Annual Recognition Dinner
If you haven't yet signed up for the Twin Cities Bicycling Club’s Annual Recognition Dinner on Saturday, February 11, 2012, now is the time!
Advance registration is required by Monday, February 6. You can register and pay online, and mail-in registration is also available. The cost for the banquet is $20 for members.
We’ll be at the same location as last year’s banquet: the Ramada Plaza in Minneapolis (interchange with Hwy 36, between Stinson and Hwy 280).
Social hour starts 5:00 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the program at 7:30 p.m. Come early to visit the sponsor tables, sign in for prize drawings, and see your cycling friends. We look forward to seeing you there!

Vote for your favorite ride leaders!
We're all grateful for the time and effort ride leaders put into planning routes, explaining safety issues, and helping riders along the way. To let your favorite ride leaders know how much you appreciate them, take a minute and vote for the best ride leaders of the year.
Thanks, ride leaders, for everything you do for TCBC!
