08.01.2022 If you want to look cool this summer this post is for you! Time to order your official BCC kit from pedal mafia. Limited time only (portal closes 10th Sept) and kit will be ready for the TOMR. This kit literally makes you go faster (true story).

07.01.2022 It's great news that government measures to prevent the spread of COVID 19 are beginning to be relaxed. The new guidelines now allow for groups of 10 to gather, while maintaining social distancing.The BCC Committee has conferred, and due to the difficulty in maintaining strict social distancing while riding in a bunch, has decided that official BCC club activities will remain on hold until further notice. We encourage you all to stay active and keep riding, ready for the return to more normal conditions! Keep well and Keep Safe! BCC Committee The following article is some food for thought! http://www.potomacpedalers.org/presidents-page-april-2020

07.01.2022 Kudos & Thanks to City of Busselton for the large scale promotion at the entry to Busselton to encourage respectful sharing of the roads. Remember, respect is a two way street, so let’s ensure we remain responsible and respectful in our cycling activities.

07.01.2022 One more night and day to get your orders in for the super cool club kit! Get involved quick or miss out. ... https://www.pedalmafiacustom.cc//busselton-cycling-club-po Password: BCC20

06.01.2022 Save the 14th Feb for the final event in our Summer Social Sunday Series. This time we head out Yongarillup direction and back through Hithergreen and the forest before a coffee stop back in town

06.01.2022 South West Cycling Club are kicking off their events again on the 21st June with a ride in the picturesque Ferguson Valley.... something to consider for next weekend!

06.01.2022 One of the most awesome events you can do on a bike, right on our doorstep... a great turnout from BCC for the 2020 edition... Make 2021 your year!!

04.01.2022 Group Ride Update: With the relaxation of COVID 19 restrictions to Phase 3 from last week, the BCC committee has met to discuss the possible resumption of sanctioned group rides. It was discussed that due to the rigid monitoring of numbers, attendees, contact information and COVID19 Safety procedures it is not feasible at the present time to re-commence BCC sanctioned group rides. We encourage people to continue to ride, if they are comfortable doing so, whether it is in a gr...oup or solo. The decision will be re-assessed if/when Phase 4 restrictions and guidelines are introduced. The Westcycle guidelines the committee is following can be viewed here; https://westcycle.org.au/covid-19-resources/

04.01.2022 Still plenty of activity happening by BCC members in this time of social isolation.... 199 this week to be exact. Today we saw Eagle Bay as a hotspot, also gravel rides, cowtown loops, Forrest beach, and trips to Nannup, Margs & Dunsborough MTB tracks as well as some of our Perth friends riding Round the River. Join the BCC strava club to see what others are doing and maybe make an extra effort to comment/ encourage/ kudos someone to keep some connection going. (.These are s...trange times, but, sorry, not strange enough to start giving Kudos for Zwifting.) Struggling for motivation to get out.... check out someone else’s ride and use it for inspiration. Also, take care of your safety if riding solo. Lights and visible clothing are a must, but also consider a tracking app so those at home can find you if you find trouble. Keep on riding and keep on following the rules!!! Keep healthy! See more

03.01.2022 For those who may be interested...

01.01.2022 Phase 3 restrictions are just around the corner and we look forward to possible resumption of BCC group rides? We are waiting for recommendations from WestCycle for procedures for the new phase and will advise as soon as we can. In the meantime, here’s some food for thought about group rides and the benefits of membership & insurance. Get you membership ducks in a row now through Cycling Australia and be ready to join in when we are back! https://cyclingtips.com//can-you-be-sued-for-causing-a-gr/
