Standing Room Only Crowd at Boone Area Cyclists Meeting

More than 80 cycling enthusiasts packed the Watauga County Library’s meeting room on March 16 for an informational meeting hosted by the Boone Area Cyclists (BAC). Attendees were welcomed by BAC’s Board of Directors and updated on current and future projects including Rocky Knob Park. Organized as a nonprofit and boasting a membership that has reached more than 100 individuals since its inception in November 2009, BAC is rapidly making an impact. Partnering with the Watauga County Tourism Development Authority, BAC has been influential in receiving two trail grants for Rocky Knob Park, including $5,000 from Bikes Belong Foundation and $5,000 from Specialized Bikes. Members of BAC represent all types of cyclists and are working to provide one voice for the cycling community.
