MEET YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Bill McDaniel / Treasurer

Bill fell in love with Bend on his first visit. Soon after that visit, he and his wife Robin built a house and moved to Bend in 2017. Bill is an avid road cyclist that has added mountain biking and fat biking to his activities. Bill enjoys leading COW rides because it is a fun way to meet others that share a passion for cycling. You will find Bill on the road or trails almost daily and in the local coffee shops discussing pro cycling with anyone who will engage.

Bradley Baise / Events

Brad became passionate about road cycling in 2002. He moved to Bend in 2019 from the western suburbs of Chicago. Brad quickly joined the COWs and found many new friends.  He appreciates the beauty and challenges of riding in Central Oregon.  Brad enjoys both leading and participating in Club rides;  as well as just hanging out afterwards. 

Terry Belunes / Secretary

Terry returned to Bend after a 30 year career as an Environmental Scientist. After many years of white water kayaking, backpacking and mountain biking, Terry began road cycling in the 2000’s to stay active, enjoy the beauty of rural Oregon, and met new friends. Committed to safe and healthy cycling, Terry leads beginner rider orientations and the club’s Progressive Tuesday rides to help riders achieve their cycling goals.

David Garcia  / At Large

Hailing from south Louisiana, David honed his early “bike skills” riding his trusty Huffy through woods and swamps. His tank-like Huffy turned into a rusted Fuji on campus, then to a beautifully lugged, pink cromoly Fuji on the eastern slopes of Colorado (during those long ago young-and-fit years). Always a bike junkie, David now enjoys riding his way-too-good-for-him Cervelo on the roads of beautiful Central Oregon—mostly because it was a lot cheaper to live here than to fly in for a visit every damn weekend.
