We had a great ride planning meeting last Monday -
in spite of the last-minute snow squall. Thanks to all who ventured out in the
slick driving conditions, and to the Bicycle Coalition of Maine for our "one
last time" use of their Augusta offices (and good luck on your move to
Portland). Here, below, is what we came up with for the KVBC 2013 Ride
Calendar. Many, many thanks to all who volunteered to lead rides! For those of
you who signed up for rides, please check the listing below and the Bicycle
Coalition of Maine's EVENTS Page to verify the accuracy of your ride: start
time, location, distance, etc. Please get back to me by Friday, February 8,
with any corrections. If you are not on the list and you would like to lead a
ride, please note the OPEN dates on the calendar and get back to me. We have
some great rides planned for this year, including the Kennebec River and
Jay-Farmington Rail Trails, a return of the Camden Vineyard tour, and a few
rides out near the coast. Can hardly wait!
