[BBTC Ride_calendar] A ride for Sunday 10/30/05
by Robert Yuschak 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hey, I just posted a ride for this Sunday on the ride calendar. The weather is supposed to be nice and there was nothing posted so let's get out and enjoy this lingering fall weather. If we get a large enough turnout of active members, maybe we can get the road captain sign off on the ride and gain club miles (for those of us battling against one another to be on top, at least until Don kicks in and starts racking up the miles again). I hope to see many of us out there on Sunday! Safe journeys, Rob Y.
