After a weekend of very wet weather we were finally able to get in a ride from Winslow on Monday, Juneteenth. Mostly cloudy - but dry! - and we did see some sun, and the roads were in fine shape. Many thanks to Steve for leading and being flexible in rescheduling his ride, and to everyone who turned out on a Monday morning. We are supposed to see warmer weather and the beginning of Summer this week as we plan for our last club ride in June on Saturday in West Mt. Vernon. Hope to see you there!
