| Heading out from Gardiner |
We had another great ride from
Winthrop last Saturday, welcoming some new riders and exploring some new
pavement. A smooth introduction to riding with the KVBC! We had a fine
turnout, and again some superb weather for cycling. Hopefully it will continue
this weekend when we meet in Gardiner on Saturday for another tour along the
quiet back roads to the south of Augusta, the route slightly modified from the
original ride description in the calendar. You'll be slightly mollified when
you see how nice it is. Hope to see you there!
