| Climbing Blueberry Hill |
We had another spectacular day for last Saturday's
ride in Sidney. Beautiful sunshine, calm winds, and some nice shady stretches
when it started to get too hot. Many thanks to Jim Putnam for another great
ride leading up to the Fourth of July. For those of you who are not going to
the Maine Bike Rally this weekend, we have a ride planned for Saturday, the
Seventh of July, exploring the Seven Hills of Rome (more or less). Hope we see
you on Saturday - have a great Fourth and a great weekend!

many hillside trails through Rome and Belgrade.
