Well. *Saturday is a complete wash-out, with cold rain all day. Sunday looks better, albeit a tad windy.I have NO rides to offer and NO one else has come up with anything, so a big ZERO on the rides this weekend. I’m sure, however, that there’s someone out there willing to lead a Sunday jaunt (I am otherwise socially engaged). Let me know and I’ll pass it on soonest.Il Padrone, 090-5813-6721 -- Thank you for being on our list. You can Unsubscribe at any time. ...Continue Reading
