Got Amish?

We had a beautiful day last Saturday to kick off our rides in August, and we took full advantage by following a very pretty route from Richmond to Wiscasset. Our thanks to David Lipman who scoped out the route, and to all who helped out. This Saturday we will explore a new route on the Tour de Whitefield, another popular ride. We will start this year at the Whitefield Elementary School to take advantage of a larger parking area in which to spread out at the start. Please remember to bring a mask for use when in close proximity with others, maintain a healthy distance otherwise, and please stay home if you are feeling sick.  Take care, and see you Saturday!
