I'm told on good authority that the
ride last Sunday from Norridgewock to the Wire Bridge in North New
Portland was first rate in all respects! Hats off to all who did the
metric century in rather chilly conditions, and to Denise and Brian for
leading the ride, and to Dianne who provided some refreshments midway
through the ride. This Saturday we have another popular Fall ride lined
up in Smithfield - as always, we hope you can join us! See you then!

the area in case you stray off route; tools for simple roadside repairs,
especially a tire pump, spare tube and/or patch kit; water bottles or hydration
systems; personal ID and a small first aid kit; and money for purchasing snacks
& drinks en-route. In case of severe weather, scheduled rides may be
postponed or designated as "show & go" rides at the discretion of the ride
leader.
We welcome suggestions for improving our rides and
encourage active participation of all members. For more information, contact
