G-Men & Women, Look over our rides carefully as we continue to update and add rides to try to accommodate and offer something for everyone. I would like to thank Grey for stepping up to lead another ride on Tuesday as an alternative to Smith & Claude’s “Fast Ride”. Grey’s ride will NOT be every week as he can’t guarantee that he will be able to lead – that is unless someone else can help. This will also be replaced by Dave Bender’s ride if and when he decides to start. However, in saying all this, as long as I have posted Grey’s ride in my weekly ride schedule, then his ride is ON for that Tuesday.
