Conditions were rather dark and overcast and we had some wet roads at the start of the KVBC ride from Jefferson, but it cleared up and we had beautiful blue skies and sunshine and a fine ride around Damariscotta Lake. Many thanks to David for leading and getting us out on a day that turned out much better than expected! This Saturday we will start in West Mount Vernon for the Eleven Ponds tour out to Chesterville. We hope you can join us, and for those of you riding the Trek, Bon Route!
