With
the Maine Lighthouse Ride and Pedal the Penobscot now behind us (and
kudos to all of those who rode one or both(!) of those rides last
weekend) we are now well into September and into the Fall and apple
season. John has a new club ride this Saturday which will stop at
Boothby's Orchard in Livermore - there may be a support vehicle for
transporting purchased apples back to the start - check with John. This
will be the first of two back-to-back apple rides (Livermore and
Monmouth) and we hope you can join us!
