We had a fine ride from Norridgewock on Sunday despite threatening skies and a few sprinkles. Fittingly for our first club ride of summer, the sun came out and temperatures climbed past 80 degrees by the ride's end. Many thanks to Denise and Brian for leading, and for the great cookies to finish the day! This Saturday we will have a new "gravel grinder" ride starting in Readfield that will take us over some roads that are normally closed in winter and have only recently opened for travel and should be in great shape. The route features some great pavement as well, and a potential local coffee/bakery stop. Hope you can join us!
