We had a great Fall foliage ride last Saturday
around Winthrop and Monmouth, despite it being cooler and darker than forecast.
Our thanks to Denise for leading, and for all the hardy folks who came out for
the ride. The Fall weather has been spectacular of late, and this Saturday Ken
Louis will be leading his ride from Belgrade that got washed out a few weeks
ago. And David Lipman will be leading a Sunday afternoon ride from his house in
Vassalboro. The weather hopefully will be fine, with lots of great scenery
still to enjoy!
