We had a great ride on Saturday in Livermore that
featured a stop at Boothby's Apple Orchard. Many thanks to John Lanoue
for leading the ride and arranging for an "apple shuttle" to carry bags
of purchased apples back to the start. Sunday's ride ventured out to the
Wire Bridge in New Portland, where we were treated to cider and apple
cake thanks to Diane & John Macdonald, and we were all pleased to
see John up and about just a week from his accident. Thanks also to
Denise & Brian for another great ride! We continue with the apple
theme on this Saturday's ride which a stop at the Monmouth Apple
Festival - apple pies, apple turnovers, apple donuts, apple everything!
Hope you can join us!
