It was a bit damp for the start of Sunday's KVBC ride in Waterville. We had a brief shower as we headed out, but it stopped about ten minutes later and we did see quite a bit of sunshine. Our thanks to David for leading and to the lucky 13 riders who turned out. This Saturday we will meet at Hannaford's in Farmington for a ride out to Industry and Clearwater Pond. We will add an optional route along the Whistle Stop Rail Trail, and we may check out the new trail in Farmington. Hope you can join us!
