Dear friends and fellow cyclists, this is Beefward. Today, as Three Beefs Cycling marks its fourth year, I find myself reflecting not just on the club's journey, but on the bond that Beeftopher, Beefwell, and I share – a bond that’s been the bedrock of this incredible adventure.

The Early Days

Our friendship began in the unlikeliest of places – a cramped school library in East Anglia. Beeftopher, the studious one, was buried in environmental science books; Beefwell, always the sports enthusiast, was reading about athletic training; and I, with my sketchpad and pencils, was lost in my art. Our paths crossed over a shared table, and the conversation quickly turned to our common love: cycling. That day marked the beginning of countless afternoons spent riding through the countryside, our friendship growing with every mile.

A Bond Forged Through Challenges

One particular event stands out, emblematic of the strength of our bond. It was during our early cycling days, a weekend trip that had us camping out and exploring unfamiliar trails. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Beeftopher realized he had lost his wallet – with it, not just money, but a sentimental photo he always carried. Without hesitation, Beefwell and I joined him in a frantic search, retracing our tracks in the fading light. It was a small act, but it solidified something significant – our unwavering support for each other, no matter the situation.

Staying Connected Across the Pond

When I moved to Denver, the physical distance between us could easily have weakened our friendship. But it didn’t. We stayed connected through regular video calls, sharing not just our cycling stories, but also the mundane details of our daily lives. We celebrated personal milestones and supported each other through challenges, just as we had back in East Anglia. Our bond transcended the miles, and this deep connection became the foundation on which we built Three Beefs Cycling.

The Club: A Reflection of Our Friendship

The essence of Three Beefs Cycling – its spirit of camaraderie, adventure, and mutual support – mirrors the friendship the three of us share. We've always believed that cycling is more than just a physical activity; it's a medium that brings people together, creating bonds that last a lifetime.

Looking Back, Looking Forward

As we celebrate four years of Three Beefs Cycling, we're reminded that the heart of our club isn't just the love for cycling; it’s the friendships it fosters, much like the one between Beeftopher, Beefwell, and me. Our journey together has been an extraordinary one, filled with laughter, support, and shared passion.

Join Our Family

To those who are part of this journey, thank you for adding to the tapestry of our club. And to those who are yet to join us, we welcome you not just to a cycling club, but to a family. Here's to many more years of friendship, cycling, and shared adventures.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Beefward
