We had an outstanding turn-out for a fine ride and an exceptional post-ride gathering on Sunday, as one of our club ride leaders and faithful ride attendees, Jim Floyd, is relocating northward. Many thanks to the Mitchells for both ride leading and offering their lakeside cottage for the post-ride festivities, and to all who turned out and brought great food to the potluck to share. This Saturday we will tackle an all-new ride from Pittston that includes some mixed road riding over gravel and pavement, so bikes with wide tires are recommended. If there is heavy rain on Saturday the ride may be postponed to Sunday - we will have updates later in the week. See you then!
