This is It

With a little luck, we will slip the ride in between rain on Friday and rain on Monday as currently predicted. Last weekend we had two beautiful days and a couple of nice easy rides. We went 25 miles on Saturday and 45 on Sunday. Sunday we pressed a bit and averaged 18mph for the entire ride. This is a decent pace for us as we usually average between 16 and 17mph as a group when we are riding.

If you cannot be there for the ride, please consider coming to the reception. Joe Berkemeyer, one of our riders, and his wife Sheila are hosting a “Welcome Home” reception for the riders this Sun evening, 5-7 PM at their house. There will be drinks, sandwiches and snacks as well as several prizes given away. The weather is expected to be a nice which will make for a very pleasant evening. Please try to come to welcome the guys back.
