Message From the President – Membership Tidbits

JW Haupt

Club Membership – Interesting Tidbits

Membership has been open since December but with the most active since March 1, the beginning of our Club year.  Mid-way thru March and we have 160 members, 95 opting for the Single memberships and 65 going the Family memberships route.

Our member Demographic breakdown as of Tuesday, 03/13/18 is:

  • 96 Men (62.3%) and 58 Women (37.7%)
  • 148 are 40+ (93.1%)
  • 7 are are 25-40 (4.4%)
  • 4 are under 25 (2.5%)

 

 

 

The Heat Map below demonstrates where our members live.  A Heat Map shows the highest concentration of members in Red and then with a gradation of colors to Orange to Yellow and finally to Green for the the lesser concentration of members.  It looks like most live in areas around Wilmington to Newark and Middletown, with the membership cloud extending south to and below Dover, north toward Philly and west to and beyond Elkton as far as the Susquehanna River.  This is an interesting way to visualize where our members are located.

I hope that you find this interesting.  I’ll post updates of Membership info throughout the year.

If you haven’t had a chance to join, here is a link to an information page detailing just how easy it is to join.  If you join now, the next message will have information that includes you!

JW Haupt

I have been involved with the WCBC since 2007, a member since 2011, and a more active member beginning in 2013. During that time, I have thoroughly enjoyed my years of involvement as a rider, a member, a Ride Leader, an Event Coordinator and Volunteer, and a member of the Executive Committee (2014-2022) as Ride Captain, Vice President, and President. I’ve organized weekday and weekend rides including the multi-level Tuesday/Thursday group rides in Bear and the MS Training Rides out of People’s Plaza which can draw 50-75 or more riders on a given day. I’ve remained an involved member of the Club not only because I enjoy cycling, but because I enjoy the time that I get to spend with all of you. And I want to do everything that I can to make your riding experience one that you look forward to each day.
