Starting the season??

Snow is melting and dirt is being cleared off the roads. Are we ready to ride? The Century Ride is coming up soon!

I was asked to post a 10am start time for the Sunday ride, starting April 15, whenever the weather is good enough. I won’t be here for the next 3 weekends but would love to hear how the season start is going.

As in previous years, please email me if you want something posted for any group rides or special rides you may be planning. 

Also enjoy this April’s Fool’s video for a bike horn … not a bad idea!
