Welcome to the Evansville Bicycle Club's Homepage
Our monthly club meeting is on the second Thursday of each month at the Pizza Chef in Newburgh Indiana at 6:30 PM.
The Evansville Bicycle Club is a recreational organization that centers its activities around the sport of bicycling. Our membership includes over 200 individuals and families, most of whom live in the Southwestern Indiana area. The EBC has been active for over 25 years, and is a year-round organization.
The primary purpose of the club is to provide the opportunity for its members to participate in cycling activities on a regular basis, over pre-selected and usually well marked cycling routes in group rides. By riding in groups, members enjoy bicycling in relative safety, with knowledgeable cyclists, and reap the rewards of friendship and encouragement. The club is very active, promoting organized "rides" year-round, and as many as 10 per week during the warm weather months. Monthly membership meetings are well attended and provide an opportunity to keep the club well organized and responsive to the needs of its members.
The EBC also hosts a nationally recognized bicycle tour "The Great Pumpkin Metric" the first weekend of October.

The new website is really starting to take shape! It is slow going while I learn all this modern XHTML and CSS stuff, but I think 5% of it is starting to sink in.
4/10/2008:
Well folks, I tried, but the Dogtown No-Drop Ride must be moved to Olmstead for this Saturday, April 12. I was down there today and the river level would have to drop about 2.5 feet for all the routes to be open, and with the rain we are getting tonight, that just doesn't seem likely. If you receive this message, please try to contact anyone you know who doesn't have email.
The times are the same, but all will start at the usual I-164 access at Olmstead Rd.:
9:30 No-Drop (R onto Olmstead, L @ Stevenson Sta., R @ Fisherville Rd, R @ Asbury Cemetery Rd., R @ Heim, L @ Stevenson Sta, R on Old Boonville...and I think you can get back to your car from there.) We've done this one at least once before.
10:45 - 23 Mile route
1:00 PM - 23 mile route
Thanks for your understanding,
Jay Vercellotti
