Hi All,
Looks like another nice riding weekend is in store as long as it doesn't get too toasty...So far so good.
*Also, we are making some changes to our Sunday Ride line-up. We are adding The GO (Gold-Orange) Ride. This ride is aimed at the riders that use Sunday as their main weekend ride and want to go at a faster pace than the Social Ride moves at. Dale Smith will be the Captain of the new GO Ride, and Henry Montalvo will Captain the Social Ride. *
