Accelerating through the Loop

We have rescheduled the planned KVBC ride in Vassalboro to June 6, switching places with the ride from Waterville which will now take place this Saturday, and we will close out May with the classic Colby Loop.  Pandemic Protocols are still in effect and groups are still restricted to ten riders (hopefully not for much longer).  You must sign up with the ride leader in advance.  Maintain distancing, bring a mask for use in close quarters, carry enough water and snacks to avoid having to stop, and please do not attend if you are sick or have recently been in contact with anyone who has been sick.  See you Saturday!
