Between*the*Raindrops*…is how you’ll have to ride if you go out on the trails on Saturday. Mid-day should be dry, but only until early afternoon, and even this less-than-optimistic forecast may change before tomorrow. So no Saturday ride from me. Sunday, however, I’ll do a run out to Jonan Jima, with perhaps a little loop before we get to the conbini to add a few Ks to the total. Monday is a holiday, so if anyone wants to organize a ride, let me know soonest.Masks up, please, at meet-up spots and stores, ...Continue Reading

Sorry for the late notice, but I’m canceling todays ride to Jonan. As little as two hours ago the forecast was for some sunshine this afternoon.
