Wake Up the Earth!

We had another beautiful day and a great turnout for our ride on the rail trail from Augusta last Sunday.  There was still a lot of work underway cleaning up and repairing winter storm damage, but the rail trail was mostly clear of debris and the ride went very smoothly.  Many thanks to Jeanine for leading and to all who turned out!  This Sunday we will venture out to Turner for Earth Day and our annual Wake Up the Earth ride, featuring a stop at the Nezinscot Farm.  Hope you can join us!
