Club Ride
Sunday, April 17, 2016 9:00 am
Time to stretch the legs and start enjoying the Sping time. Come on out and have some fun. Thanks to Jim Burrows for letting me host this ride. It is full of good roads, lots of trees and few hills, very small hills. Maybe a little more Hills backwards, but still fun.
It is a good ride for beginners or experienced riders. So if you are a new member or want to become one come on out and meet some new friends on a great ride. If you have been a long time member come on out and enjoy the company of the other club members and catch up on what’s going on with each other.
Cue sheets will be provided.
Route distances of 26, 38, 43 and 53, something for everyone.

We rode through the beautiful state park and, thankfully, no chip seal. Today I, finally, understood the reason for frequent warning to watch for water on the road. We were crossing a bridge over a creek that was, actually, a part of this creek. Meaning, the bridge was under several inches of water. I started to break wanting to stop before getting into water – we did not know how deep it was. My bike slipped on …
