Oh ye of little faith…who stayed home last night when I suggested it would clear in time for the ride…what a beautiful night for a ride!  I hope your couch or easy chair was as nice.  Yes, the weather around here is pretty crazy…especially on Tuesday nights it seems…but last night turned into a fabulous night for a ride.  It is so hard to outguess what nature will do…but sometimes you get a win.  Last night was a win for sure. We had a larger number of riders than I anticipated due to the doubtf ...Continue Reading

Hi Everyone, I have been looking at the radar as many of you may have.  We’ve had some rain but the storm, that reaches back to Rochester, seems to be moving pretty fast and could be past us before 6:00 PM.  I am inclined to go to the park and see what it is doing around ride time.  We’ll have to play it by ear for now.  This have been the worst ride season I can recall since we began the SnE rides!!! See you at the park, Tony    Virus-free. www.avast.com ...Continue Reading

Begin forwarded message: from Dave Sheldon > > > > > It was a perfect biking day and 30 riders showed up. Most people did the 30 mile route and quite a few added a little extra because of the nice day. The cue sheet is a little off because of the change in the starting spot but it seem to have no bad side effects on people. I guess there are a lot of veterans on all rides that help keep things together, kind of. > > I didn't hear of any mishaps or even flat tires but maybe they were kept a ...Continue Reading
