Social Ride Cancelled
by dpssmith＠aol.com 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hi Everyone, In the interest of bicycle safety it is best that we cancel the official Social Ride. With it being wet yesterday there were several close calls where riders had difficulty stopping and avoiding other riders. The roads here seam to be much wetter than yesterday and it doesn't look like they will dry anytime soon. Sorry about the short notice. Be safe, Dale

by SHERI 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Hi! It is hard waiting around for the rain to come, and since it looks like it is, and it is cold and gloomy paired with an early sunset, I am opting out of the ride. If you want to go today anyway, maybe others will show up. Get out while you can, but I am going to pass on today. Sheri
