Dear AdventuRiders,
After all this rain, hopefully clear up a bit tomorrow. I'll make the GO / STOP decision before 8:00 AM tomorrow. I reserve the right to change the routes to take advantage of the foliage and/or avoid muddy roads.
The morning Fitness Ride will visit the "Lollipop" Cemetery and the old Shaker Village before climbing Oak Hill for a GREAT roller coaster ride back to Harvard.
LUNCH will be at Harvard General Store.
The afternoon Recreation Ride will climb Prospect Hill before riding around Bare Hill Pond and hopefully not getting throw out of Town Beach.
