We had a great ride in Livermore and Leeds on Saturday, despite getting off
to a rainy start. By the time we got to the general store in Chesterville, the
sun had broke out and the roads were drying up, and we had a fine stretch along
the Chesterville Esker. It was great to see some familiar faces appear for the
ride (and breakfast!). Next week's ride will also feature some culinary
delights as we explore the roads around West Mount Vernon and Wings Mills on
Ken's Fifth Annual Hot Dog Ride. If you've missed it the last four times you
won't want to miss it now. Hope to see you Saturday!
