Bike Clubs

[TrekTheKaty]

I am in a club that has experienced a great deal of change in the last few years. I think the women who started the club didn't realize what happens when a group of friends start a club. Here are a few of the issues my club was dealing with . . .

You have no control over who joins "your" club.
New members have new ideas.
Bike riders come in all shapes, sizes and abilities.
As the club becomes more successful, the more work you have to do.

This also happened to a group of my non-cycling friends. We met once a month for happy hour and someone turned it into a chapter of a national organization (then moved out of town--"good luck!") I (and several other "founding" members) walked away.

Props to you for starting a club. Just be ready to look out for the groups interests instead of yours.
