United in Manchester

We had a fine group of riders set out in bright sunshine on Saturday's KVBC ride in Norridgewock. We broke into three paced groups, and even the slow-paced group managed to finish before it clouded up, and everyone missed the rain. Many thanks to Denise and Brian for leading and for their post-ride hospitality, especially the home-baked cookies! This Saturday we will venture out on one of our early, venerable club rides starting in Manchester. Hope to see you Saturday!
