Dear AdventuRiders,
I hope you all got out to enjoy this spectacularly nice day. Tomorrow is supposed to be similar except even nicer.
The Senior Center, to the right of our Starting Point, is open on Mondays, so we will have porcelain! For LUNCH we will have a picnic to the left of the Starting Point at the Teen Center. We can get food at the Village Grill.
The morning Recreation Ride will go to Lake Whalom and then to Lake Shirley. Then its off to see the alpacas on the way back.
The afternoon Fitness Ride will tackle Pearl Hill before a hugely fun downhill to the State Park. Then a nice smooth flat run back to Lunenburg.
