We had a beautiful late Fall ride from Smithfield
last Saturday over smooth, dry, fresh pavement, slowed down only by a couple of
flats. (Sometimes you can't trust new pavement.) Staying dry this weekend
might be more problematic, as the weather forecasts have been all over the
place, obsessing on the "S" word. It's been so nice this Fall it's too
early for that, so we'll play it by ear and plan for a grim
& ghoulish, post-Halloween, bid-adieu-to-Daylight-Savings
ride! We'll meet in Wayne at the Elementary School and work our way past
the historic "Wing Ring" cemetery and up to Kents Hill, scene of an unsolved
murder many years past, and a likely stop at the Apple Shed. If
the weather is not too cold or wet, we'll see you then!
