Details:
We have a lot of musical BCCers, so we will combine biking with music and eating! Jay Baker’s Lost Dogs will be the House band, setting up on the stage (our back deck) after the rides, at about 4:00-4:15ish. All BCC musicians are invited to contact Jay in advance of the event in order to join the line-up.
The Social Committee will supply food and drinks.
Members are invited to bring chairs or picnic blankets for stretching out on the yard and enjoying the tunes.
This is a new BCC event and we look forward to positive vibes!
The Rock part:
Jay and the Lost Dogs will start playing in the 4-4:20ish time period, on our deck, with us hanging out on blankets or chairs (that you bring) on the yard, and enjoying refreshments from the Social Committee plus adult beverages you may choose to bring. So far we have one guest BCC musician, so please contact Jay if you want “in”. Several of us have enjoyed listening to this rock band that features 3 guitar players, a drummer, keyboardist and rockin’ flute/cowbell/percussionist. Lots of fun covers of 80’s hits plus a few other mixed in.

- hot tub apparel if you like
Other logistics:
- plenty of parking on the front lawn and out near the barns (just leave the driveway near the deck open for the band vans)
