2009 annual report Dear Adventure Cycling Members

As the new President of the Board of Directors, let me thank you for your strong support during 2009. Despite the challenges we faced during the economic downturn (or perhaps because of them), people keep turning to bicycle travel for fitness, fun, self-discovery, and community. In fact, Adventure Cycling set a new record with 44,844 members from 48 countries. The bike industry’s trade journal Bicycle Retailer and Industry News anointed Adventure Cycling the “King of the Road” because of our status as the largest cycling membership group in North America – and the most efficient, using a smaller percentage of our revenue for administration and finance than any other bike nonprofit. It was a year of hard work by our staff and volunteers. Our Routes and Mapping crew revised and re-printed 39 map sections and converted two maps to Geographic Information System (GIS) software. We began research for a major overhaul of our Atlantic Coast route and nearly finished work on the 2,400 mile Sierra Cascades Bicycle Route. Look for the route in April 2010 – it will take our overall route network over the 40,000-mile mark, the largest bike-friendly, mapped route network in the world. We also published nine issues of Adventure Cyclist magazine, and the final print version of the Cyclists’ Yellow Pages, the most complete guide to bicycle travel anywhere which is now solely available and frequently updated on our website. We grew the bicycle travel community with lively new online forums, our popular and free Bike Bits newsletter, and our new social media sites at Facebook (well over 5,000 fun-loving fans), Twitter, Flickr and YouTube. Connect with us at www.adventurecycling.org. On the advocacy front, we continued to promote youth bicycle travel, worked with our partners in the America Bikes coalition to secure more national financial and policy resources for cycling, and did extraordinary work to implement an official U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS). Thanks to your donations, we are partnering with federal, state and non-profit leaders to establish official routes in more than a dozen states. The USBRS is galvanizing America’s bike movement in many positive ways! Finally, I wanted to note that our tours had more participants in 2009 than 2008 – and judging by the reviews, they were happy participants! This is due, of course, to our office staff, but even more so to our many tour leaders. Our leaders, including Tom Radley, Tammy Schurr, Ray Hanson, Wally Werner, and too many more to list here, are incredibly generous in sharing their passion and expertise for bike travel, enriching our tours and making them a wonderful experience. Another remarkable leader is Frank Moritz from Colorado, who has helped us improve our systems and training, and has designed and led numerous tours. Moreover, Frank served on our Board of Directors and just stepped down as President. He’ll continue to volunteer his time for the organization, but please join me in saluting his service, particularly his leadership during the past year. With volunteers like Frank and members like you, it’s no wonder that Adventure Cycling continues to touch so many people’s lives. Thanks again for your support and best wishes for 2010. Carol York
