Thursday Evening Ride
by Sheri Leiken 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

This will be our last Thursday evening ride of the year. So sad... season is gone. I would love to invite you all to come get one last Thursday evening ride in with all the fun! Leaving StoneHaus at 5:30! We will go around the lake and up Westlake to Carlisle Canyon where we will make a right and go until it ends. This is a beautiful ride and perfect for this time! I am not sending a route slip because you can't get lost. This is an up and back. If you haven't been out in a while, come on out THIS Thursday and let's enjoy this great weather and camaraderie. Plan on meeting in the front of Stonehaus at 5:30. (few extra minutes needed for parking). Hang out and enjoy the drinks, food, and friends after. -- Sheri P.S. Wednesday afternoon rides will begin the next week. Watch for announcements. 3:45.
