G-Men & Women, Tony is still out due to his injuries but he is getting better each day. I will lead the A & A- groups for this Saturday. I hope that someone will help lead the A- riders if any fall off the pace. Let’s continue our same theme of working together as a group on these Saturday rides.
It might be raining come Saturday morning so be sure to check on ride status update by 8:00am. It is starting to feel a little more like WINTER so we will set some “Winter Rules” we ride steady tempo for the entire ride and no surging on the hills and same effort up and down the hills. We cut it loose on Olive Branch coming back to St. Francis If anyone is taking time off from work next week and would like to plan a ride please do so, I will be off next Friday and will plan a ride for that morning if anyone would like to join. I will post my plans next Thursday. Thanks, Bert Rides for the week starting Saturday 12/17 SATURDAY RIDES (12/17) 1.
