Hello everyone, Thank you for being willing to help us out and ride in the rain tomorrow! Due to the weather's worsening conditions and the postponing of the St. Paddy Parade and 5K downtown, we have decided to follow suit and move our ride to next weekend the 21st. We will resume both route options for next weekend and keep our fingers crossed for better weather! The new date for the St. Paddy Training Ride is Saturday, March 21st!! Thank you all again for your willingness and assistance - I hope that you can participate next weekend!
