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 one in! 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. Please be aware that we typically don't check this email account until preparing the next newsletter, usually Sunday evening. |
