WEEKEND RECAP
I missed Saturday but was told there was 15 riders and the ride started cold but everyone warmed up quickly. Sounds like everyone had a great ride. I heard it was a fast ride and most everyone averaged around 19mph. The route Saturday was changed to Triple B’s so we will do the Scenic Route this Saturday. Sunday was a great social ride and we had 8 people in attendance and we did the Tour de Steiner Ranch and averaged about 14 mph.
