The weather was not very cooperative for our scheduled ride in Farmington last Sunday. Most of us were sane enough to stay somewhere dry. One who was neither ventured a short ride in solitude along the Whistlestop Rail Trail, which I would not describe as "mud luscious and puddle wonderful" (despite an old English teacher who really, really tried to get us to appreciate e.e. cummings). Anyway, we got a ride in the books.
Seems hard to believe but we are coming to the end of October so it is time for our annual Halloween/Cemetery ride in Wayne on Saturday - please note the 10:00 am start. As in past years, costumes are optional - just remember to include helmets and clothing appropriate for the weather, which, if the forecast is to be believed, may reach 70 degrees! Hope to see you on our next-to-last scheduled ride of the year!
