We had a very pleasant apple-centric ride last Saturday in
Livermore. Save for an unfortunate flat for one rider right at the
ride's beginning, the ride went well (and perhaps it was luck that the
flat didn't occur mid-ride). The roads were in good shape, with some
fine new pavement in sections, and it was a great day for apple picking
at the orchard at the ride's end! Our thanks to John for leading! This
Saturday we will revisit our classic Fall ride to the Wire Bridge in
New Portland. Note that the long ride starts at 9:00am in Norridgewock
and the short ride starts a half-hour later in Madison. Sunday marks
the annual "Share the Road with Carol" ride in Windsor, and you can
still pre-register up till Sept. 28 (or at the day of the event),
