Go Forth on the Fourth

Time once again to assert your independence (even if you're feeling pretty independent already) and what better way to do it than to join us on the annual KVBC Independence Day Ride in Sidney on Saturday!  Oh sure, I suppose you could go off and ride on your own, but where's the fun in that?  And besides, Jim has a great ride planned for us, and you are all invited to come.  Patriotic attire and accoutrements are optional (I think Confederate flag motifs are definitely out this year).  Plus we'll get you back in time and all warmed up for whatever 4th of July festivities await you later in the day!  That's worthy of a declaration!  See you then!
