After
a string of chilly rides in October it is a welcome treat to have
temperatures climb up into the 60s again, and we'll gladly take
advantage of it this Sunday in Belgrade Lakes. We are regrettably
beginning to see a surge of COVID cases in the state, so be extra
cautious, bring masks and use them when near others, keep up with
distancing, and stay home if you have a temperature or other symptoms.
We may not see too many more days for riding than those predicted for
the weekend, so we hope to see you Sunday!
