Miles of Mills

We had another fine day for our KVBC ride from Turner on Sunday, pre-Earth Day. The roads were in great shape and traffic was minimal. While riding sweep I somehow lost track of everyone's whereabouts, but everyone got back to the start OK (I think). Our ride this Saturday will start in South Vassalboro at the ride leader's as we close out the month of April. Hope to see you Saturday!

Through the Mill

 We had a really nice ride on Sunday from Manchester. The weather outlook called for high winds and low wind chill conditions, but the four of us who showed up gambled that that was just an April Fools forecast. In fact, the day was much milder than expected; blustery, but with full sunshine that moderated things and made the late morning quite pleasant. The weather outlook ahead calls for even warmer conditions this weekend, so we will meet in So. Vassalboro on Saturday for a 10:30 start. Hope to see you then!
