Dear AdventuRiders,
I have good news, great news and even better news! First, the weather looks nearly perfect tomorrow, with almost no wind and temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s. Second, there should be a PortaPotty at the starting point and the beautiful Princeton Public Library will be open (and they have PORCELAIN :-) )Oh, and there are goats along the way, too...
The ride itself is hilly, but nothing that we haven't done before. Then, after the ride, we will have LUNCH at The Angler Fish Market & Chowder Co. Note the 9:30 start time.
