Wednesday Landing Ride 3:30
by sheri 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Welcome to the last of the short weeks... We have 3 to go until they pick up in length!!! Can't wait! But.... spinning outside sure beats spinning inside and we know we haven't spent enough outside lately! Come join us for a quick spin through Hidden Valley. It is a short, but very sweet ride with about a 16+ average... but remember, this is SHORT! We go up, turn around and come back, so there is no getting lost! We leave at 3:30 sharp.... blinkies on the back are great ideas! The inclement weather policy is in effect for this ride, so rain stops this ride!!!!! Hope to see you Wednesday at the LANDING Parking Lot! (almost to the end of Lindero in the shopping center) We park closest to the street. Sheri 818621-1713
