CVC WEEKLY PREVIEW UPDATE--PLEASE READ!
by Cameron Young 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi all, In regards to the Purple Away Ride: Correction, there is currently no ride leader for this level, as Bill Sietsema noted in his announcement. Near as I can tell, none of the regular members of that level will be participating. So, anyone wanting to ride the Purple route will be doing it on their own. Sorry for any confusion, I will need to talk to the writer and tell him to get his act together if he wants to keep his job! Cam
