Wanted - More Posters and Responders
Title says it all!
We have over 300 registered members that can post or respond to any message. Others value your responses and opinions.
You can post trail conditions, meetings, ideas, rides, U-Tube videos, pictures, items for sale. This list is far from complete.
It is your safe haven from SPAM message board. I've had only one jerk that I had to boot off and that was several years ago. He was not even a QCBC member.
Your e-mail address can not be "harvested" by a spambot!
You can access the QCBC Message Board via the link on the left or here
Pedal Rambling: Winter biking is possible
-- and even fun
By Chuck Oestreich
Bicycling isn't all fun; there can be some work involved.

The new QCBC jerseys and shorts are now in stock at The Trek Bicycle Store
Davenport and Healthy Habits in Bettendorf! Both stores have ordered "club cut"
instead of the tighter "race cut" versions. Be sure to mention that you are a
QCBC member to enjoy a 10% discount.
Your Board has completed our club's first 3 Year Plan. It explains our history,
our current activities and, most importantly, what we hope to achieve in
2009-2011.
As we developed
the plan
, we were amazed at the variety of rides that we offer, the amount of
community/advocacy efforts that are in place and the number of dedicated QCBC
volunteers. I hope that you too are proud of our club and what we do each year.
Please take the time
to read the plan
. We welcome your comments and your ideas to help accomplish our goals. - John
Harrington
