Ride Forth

We had a record turnout of 31 riders at the start of the KVBC ride Sunday in Readfield, and we were joined by 2 or 3 others along the route. The ride itself followed a popular and pretty route that offered lots of shade on a hot sunny day. Many thanks to Lydia for leading and to everyone who turned out! Next Sunday we will revisit a classic Fourth of July route starting at the Bean School on Middle Road in Sidney. If we don't see you, have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!
