Dear TCBC friends and family,

On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since then, public and private entities from every sector have been creating protocol and planning contingencies in order to address COVID-19—so must we. In considering guidance from the World Health Organization, the National Centers for Disease Control, the Minnesota Department of Health and other county, state, and federal agencies, it has become clear that the socially responsible thing to do is to promote social distancing by not encouraging or promoting the gathering of groups of people. Therefore, effective immediately and until further notice, TCBC is suspending all group riding. We will keep a close eye on the situation and lift the ride restriction just as soon as it is socially responsible to do so. We do not support or endorse any club, team, group, or social rides during this time period. We do encourage you all to continue to get out and ride solo or ride with others from your immediate household. Stay healthy, stay active, stay safe, get out and enjoy some spring bike riding in Minnesota. I hope to be back to seeing you on group rides sometime very soon.

Sincerely,
Shelby Miller, President, TCBC Board of Directors
