 WBL #1 and #2 2025-2026

The HUB Home Opener and The Ken Rosskopf memorial ride to Rayle.

[170 miles total. 20.2 mph average]

Ken Rosskopf was an idol of mine. Simply one of the nicest guys around. A husband and father who did so much advocating for cyclists, becoming the preeminent lawyer representing cyclists all over, pioneering a bike share program before any other, and being a WBL regular. Ken took me to some of my first WBLs before I could drive. He carted us all around to races for years. Ken passed doing what he loved: riding his bike. So, let’s remember and honor Ken by doing just that: riding our bikes.

Now it’s time. Go on ahead and put the heavy on us. We can handle the weight. Though we might wiggle, wander, or wave- we will not fall. We will not quit. We will push through the fog, the mist, the pine tar laced air, the manure scented clouds, the cold, or even the nice sunny days. We are the WBL. A community of like-minded pedal pushers. Not paper pushers mind you, well maybe some on the board might push some paper around (the money type you know). Either way, these pedal pushers (known around the world as Zealots) are the type that look out for each other. We’re home to the best structured training ride on the planet. This year alone over $5,000 in cash is up for grabs. With that, let’s remember our ride guidelines
