November ride update

We had a great ride, today. This was Christo’s first group ride. Good job! This was Chris’s second ride.

Starters incuded Marcel, Ian, Chris, Christos, Richard, and Bill.

We did the 37 mi coastal loop. The weather was not too bad. Christos said that he had been in Ireland, a lot. He was used to riding the wet weather. It only started to pour towards the end on River St. River St is finally paved!

Saturday

Saturday ride might be cancelled due to rain.  Rain at 8am cancels the ride.

The forecast for the rain event is tapering. The probability for rain on Friday evening has dropped to 60%. It looks like the pattern is not moving across as expected. We should have a clear and sunny Saturday morning. Saturday will be the warmer of the two upcoming days.
