We had a beautiful day, at long last, for a
splendid Mother's Day ride in China on Sunday. It was a great ride with lots of
rolling farmland and scenic lakeside runs, some historic cemetery stops, and
some great tailwinds! Many thanks to Jeanine for putting the ride together and
offering to shift the ride date at the last minute to take advantage of the
weather. Jeanine is doing double duty this week, as she will also be leading
our ride Saturday in Clinton to the Benton Alewife Festival: https://www.facebook.com/events/377947635659942/?fref=ts.
The alewives, a vital resource going back to prehistoric times, have made a
remarkable comeback, and here's your chance to see the spring run in action. As
always, hope you can join us!
