We had a great warm-up ride last Saturday in North
Augusta thanks to Jim Floyd and David Lipman. They picked a perfect day, and we
had a nice turn-out of twelve riders on short notice. We didn't lose anyone (we
think) and the roads were a lot better than expected. This Saturday's ride will
be our first official ride of the season - the "Wake Up the Earth" ride along
the Kennebec River Rail Trail, with a possible stop at Slates Bakery in
Hallowell (actually two possible stops, as we pass by it twice, and it's hard to
pass by). The ride will be on gentle, mostly flat terrain, and will be
moderately paced - perfect if you haven't been out much as yet this year. Hope
you can join us as we kick off another great year of cycling!
