Wed. Afternoon and weekday rides
by sheri 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi! I may bow out of this Wednesday's ride due to cold weather predicted (and I still have a sore throat.) If by chance it warms up a bit, I may feel different. Look for a Wednesday morning announcement but be in touch with me if you have interest. But... for fun, as Dennis has said. I plan on leading the next two Wednesdays (after this one) on a Wednesday morning. It will be the day AFTER Christmas, and the day AFTER New Years. If you would like to join me, please look for an announcement. A 9:00 am start time at Sprouts will be the place... Look for the route to come! Sheri ohsheri2005(a)sbcglobal.net

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
