Casco Bay Bicycle Club

2nd Annual Movie Night

Bicycle Thief Poster 2nd Annual Casco Bay Bicycle Club Movie Night under the stars in Freeport. Note date change!

See and be scene at this spectacular event in which Cecile B. DeMille himself would be proud to be associated.

Date: Friday June 21, 2013 (weather permitting)
Time: Yard opens at 7:30pm
Spouses/SOs welcome

Hi, join Chris and Ron for a night of movie watching under the stars, next to the fire pit and beside numerous Tiki lamps.

The concept is simple BYOB. We will provide some light snacks and soda. We will have some chairs but please have one handy in your car in case we need more.

contact by email for directions.

This years movie is the heart breaking Academy Award winner “The Bicycle Thief”. It is a story of a poor father searching post-World War II Rome for his stolen bicycle, without which he will lose the job which was to be the salvation of his young family.

“The Bicycle Thief” is considered one of the landmark achievements in post-war cinema and is not to be missed!

So come out to Freeport and take a step on the gravel carpet for this exciting star-filled night. Just like they said of MGM Studios of old, the stars that show up will be too numerous to count!

Bear Notch on Memorial Day

Hey everyone

Since the forecast for Saturday/Sunday is for cold, wet, and (in Saturday’s case) wind, I’m postponing the ride until Monday/Memorial Day (May 27, 2013). I’ll already be in NH, so I’ll meet whomever rides at Cranmore.

I hope you can still make it. See you soon!

Cranksgiving Ride Report

From Nancy:

Dan and Colin joined me on the “Cranksgiving” ride – we were a good team! Really fun riding around Portland and buying food on the list they gave us at the start. Even though we didn’t win the race, we had fun and the donated food went to a good cause.

Definitely plan to do this again next year and hope if we get the word out earlier, other CBBC members will join us. They may have a spring charity ride as well. Perhaps we can do a relay team ride.

Cranksgiving

Hi all my fellow cyclists!

I’m sending you a link to “Cranksgiving.” Looks like a lot of fun, a good way to give exposure to our group (wear your CBBC jerseys), and help out those who are less fortunate- always a good thing to do, especially now that the holidays are just around the corner.

This event involves frequent stops, collecting items to donate. I’ve never been to this before, but I’m riding my hybrid with a milk crate on the back

Hope to see you there!
