April Fools!

 We had a fine ride last Saturday from Chesterville for Maine Maple Sunday weekend. A bit cloudy and cool, but the roads were mostly dry, and once we warmed up the temperatures stayed rather steady.  Best of all, we were treated to pancakes and fresh maple syrup at the ride leader's after the ride.  Many thanks of the day to John for hosting us!  We had hoped to kick off our April rides on April Fools Day this Saturday, but Mother nature isn't fooling around, so we are switching the ride start to Sunday which is forecast to be much drier.  Hope you can join us!
