We had a beautiful Fall
day for the ride last Saturday from Winthrop to the Monmouth Apple Fest.
Crisp temperatures, bright sunshine, and some superb apple pie,
doughnuts, and other treats at the festival in Monmouth. And the ride
wasn't too bad, either! Hopefully we'll have more of the same this
Saturday (if the weather cooperates) as John has another great ride in
Chesterville planned for us. Hope to see you Saturday!
