Weather Update
The weather forecast for this week is for good riding weather with only a slight chance of rain predicted for Wednesday through Friday.
During the fall and winter rainy season, we need to balance the safety of our members (think wet roads, downpours, etc.) with our common love of cycling.
When the weather forecasts strongly indicate rain, we will cancel rides a day or two in advance. This becomes a more difficult decision when the actual road conditions cannot be accurately predicted. If there is a reasonable chance that scheduled ride can safely proceed, we will the delay the final decision until the morning of the ride.
Everyone should be aware of their bike skills and cycling comfort levels. If a ride goes on, but you don't feel safe, please take the morning off. Don't feel like you have to ride, just because other people are riding. |

| BEACH REAL ESTATE GROUP was created because buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction. We understand that it’s a life-changing experience that requires skill, savvy, communication, collaboration, passion and professionalism. We understand that it’s about you. It’s your story! We create an environment and a culture where we can be open and honest and collaborate with you to achieve your goals. We get personally involved in most of our transactions, because we know it’s all about you. We focus on the relationships with our clients and our colleagues. Most homes in the South Bay/ Westside are sold by agents who live and breathe the area. Companies do not sell homes, the people who know the neighborhoods do. We are local and our local expertise has global reach. When it comes time to move beyond the online searches, the auto-emails and the lists of properties, we know the community, the people and the details that define each neighborhood within the cities. We understand the things that matter when you’re deciding where to live your life. We focus on condominiums, townhomes, single-family homes, and investment properties. We elevate the home buying and selling experience for our clients with our innovative strategies.

Didn't see the photo you wanted? If you are wondering why there is no photo of a club ride that you did, it's because no one sent a photo in on time! Photos should be sent: newsletter@bcccsb.org. Also, please let us know the date and the ride the photo was from. If there was something special that should be in the caption, please include it in your email. |
