Team BSI!

Team BSI is a group of Black Ski members involved in bicycling.

Years ago, cycling activities were initiated as a way to keep in shape for skiing, during the off-season. Over time, interest in cycling increased and now there is a full cycling schedule that runs from April through October. There is typically a Bike Shop Happy Hour in April to kick off the season. Half-day excursions as well as weekend long cycling events are planned for the recreational rider and for the more serious, competitive rider. On the day of each excursion riders usually gather for lunch after a ride. Cycling team members also participate in organized rides sponsored by other organizations. Seminars are held for beginners as well as for advanced level riders.

Team BSI has a uniform with accessories for cycling which are available for purchase. Any club member can become a member of Team BSI.

For more information on Team BSI contact Jack Gardner at cycling@blackskiinc.org.
