The abrupt onset of warm weather brought about a beautiful spring ride from Winslow last Saturday. We had a fine turnout of 17 riders including some newcomers! A number of folks went out and did some additional miles, while others gathered afterward for lunch at Big G's. Many thanks to Jeanine for leading another great ride. This weekend tops off Earth Week with our traditional "Wake Up the Earth" ride on Saturday in Turner. We are hopeful that the forecast rains will hold off until later on Saturday, but if it is raining with temperatures in the 40s at the start we may postpone the ride. Let's hope for good weather and we'll see you Saturday in Turner!
