Thursday GO Ride
by Sherrie Felton 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

CVC GO Ride Enthusiasts: I have decided not to continue the rides up until the time change so--last Thursday was our last GO ride for 2015. We have enjoyed a long, fun season of riding from and dining at different pubs this year. Thanks to all the cyclists who participated and made the ride a fun event for each other, and especially to each of you who helped me with leading and sweeping responsibilities. A special thank you to Bev and Dick Pierson who opened their home to us this summer, hosting a ride and post-ride party. In addition, having led the ride for three years, it is time for me to "step down" as ride leader and let someone else take a turn and bring in new ideas. That volunteer position will be open in the spring of 2016. GO for it! Best regards, Sherrie Felton
