Hey BBTC! Sorry for the long absence. The winter has left and the weather is perfect for cycling as demonstrated by all the great rides springing up on the ride calendar. In fact, the weather forecast is predicting temps reaching the low 80s by the weekend. As a reminder, June's calendar will close next Monday the 15th for approved rides, so if you want to share a ride with the club you will need to get it on the schedule by then. Super series ride leaders, we are still in need of a ride leader for the up and over on Saturday, June 17th. If you are interested in leading this ride please contact me as soon as possible. Have a GREAT weekend we'll see you on the road!
