The Heart of the Chesapeake Bike Tour is in memory of Bob Brannock, a member of the Y since its opening in 1985. Upon Bobs retirement in 2005, after his Parkinson's diagnosis, the Y became his second home. Not only did he use the facilities to help with his Parkinson's he also became our "Bob the Builder." He worked on everything from leaky roofs to full on renovations. There wasn't a room that Bob didn't touch. He continued to work at the Y until his death in July of 2014.
