announced, we will ride from the Readfield Elementary School to
Winthrop, Monmouth, and Wales, stopping at the Monmouth Apple Festival.
Here are the ride details for Sunday's ride from either Norridgewock or
Madison to the historic Wire Bridge in New Portland. Please join us on
either ride, or both!
