Sunday Purple Ride
by John Caffrey 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Greetings, Due to work schedule changes and the Holidays, I am unable to lead the Sunday Purple Ride for the next few weeks. I should be back to having Sunday's off in January. *So, my next Purple Ride will not be until January 8th.* If someone would like to lead a Sunday Purple Ride between now and then, please let me know. I will be happy to post the ride and your route of choice. In the event no one wants to lead, I would encourage the current Purple level riders to ride with the Social Ride. Just print a route slip and be prepared to finish the ride on your own if you get dropped. Keep on pedaling! John Caffrey 805-231-0151
