August 10th - Going the Distance!
What a great crisp and sunny day for a bike ride! We had 12 come out, including a couple of new faces, ready to break the all time distance record with a ride of 14.5 miles! Thanks to: Bob, Dave, Ed, Mark, Brenda, Jim, Jeremy, Will, Tom, Chard, and Terrie! Also joining us for the picnic later were Christina, Lisa, and Tom W. Hope that those were not able to make it this time can make it to the train ride on the 23d!
Now, what you are all waiting for... the pics (click the arrow to start)!
