We had a beautiful, crisp, clear Fall day for the ride in Augusta on Sunday. The ride saw a fine turnout, great scenery, and some sections of fresh new pavement. Many thanks to Duncan for leading and for reworking the start at a more spacious parking area. This weekend we will feature two popular rides: the first will be on Saturday in Livermore and will stop at Boothby's Apple Orchard. Sunday we will ride to the Wire Bridge in New Portland (details forthcoming). Remember that we are still observing pandemic protocols, and they are still concerned about a second surge of cases, so please bring masks and be prepared to use them, maintain social distancing, and please stay home if you are feeling sick. Hope you can join us!
