The annual meeting is an important club function as vote for the 2017 officers and board.  We also enjoy time with our cycling colleagues, have dinner, celebrate 2016 honoring our Board of Directors and other volunteers, our high mileage riders and member of the year Spirit Award. We always look forward to the Savvy Cycling Tours announcement, and enjoy a raffle of 'merch' donated by sponsors.
 
This year we will also have a special program:  

For 35 years RAAM has been challenging ultra cyclists from around the globe to push their physical and mental limits to the farthest reaches.  Starting in Oceanside, RAAM spans 3000 miles, climbs 175,000 feet, crosses 12 states and finishes in Annapolis, Maryland.  

Winner of RAAM 2016 four man team under 50 was TEAM WORKING NATION.  Kurt Broadhag, one of the four cyclists, will be the featured speaker at our annual meeting.  He has participated in RAAM three times, each time under a different charity/sponsor.  The first year they finished in second place, the following year they finished first and in 2016 they finished first with the top fastest finish times of ALL racers in ALL racing categories and ages, including the 8 person team.

Team Working Nation is a charity whose goal is to help restore the middle class.  They raise awareness about the reasons for structural unemployment and highlight programs across the country aimed at solving these problems.  Kurt has received 25 state championships on road and track.  He will be speaking about his RAAM experience!
