Wednesday afternoon RIDE update
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
