BACtoberfest Bike Tour
What a weekend. Mother Nature was on our side for Adventure Club and a Fall Bike Tour.
BAC Cycling Diva Rose Nowak organized BAC’s first-ever Fall Bike Tour. Fifteen riders enjoyed a 50 mile trip from BAC to Knaebe’s Munchy Crunchy Apple Orchard in Rogers City. Another 10 riders completed the full 100 mile tour by biking to Knaebe’s and back. BAC staff and volunteer members logged in nearly 100 hours organizing the ride – promoting it, mapping the course, testing the ride, marking the course, organizing water stations, SAG vehicles, Bike Repair, and even healthy snacks. All proceeds from the ride will benefit the local food pantry.

The 100 Mile Club: Don Clay, Clay Bower, Mike Baird, Cheryl Bates, Stan Mischley, Drew Styma, Randy Bouchard, Ann Timmreck, Susan Thompson and Brad MacKenzie

Always an Adventure at BAC
BAC Adventure Club Diva Kelly Bowlin led a two-hour hike at Chippewa Hills in Ossineke with 20 BAC members and friends. The sights and sounds were amazing – the hikers enjoyed fall colors and a natural spring while burning the calories away on the grueling hills. The hikers were rewarded with a gourmet fall picnic, including a butternut and apple tart.

Rogers City Rocks Boot Camp
Rogers City sure knows how to turn out for BAC Boot Camp. Twenty people recently completed the six-week fitness and nutrition overhaul. The workouts are hosted at the new fitness center next to ARMC Rehab and are led by BAC trainers Julie Hanna and Casey Stutzman. Tracy Paull was the overall winner, losing more than 20 lbs in the challenge. Go Tracy! The entire team set a new standard with the group average of 8.8 lbs and 8.6 inches per persons.

Each participant improved in all three areas – weight, inches and physical testing. Their transformation stories are amazing – from better sleeping habits, increased energy and strength, decreased stress, weight loss and even overall happier attitudes. Rogers City boot campers are fun, supportive and welcome people at all levels of fitness. Everyone succeeds.
