Hi Everyone!

Wow! What a great Independence Day celebration! We welcomed around 120 riders. The Ice Cream Barn…which was more than the estimated few hundred feet from the intersection…uphill, had so much business that they ran out of chocolate…sorry Al! Thanks to everyone who came, dressing for the 4th, and the generous donations toward the picnic food. It was a great time!

Important Safety Note:

We’ll be crossing 45 – PLEASE be cautious and ride in the shoulder. Stay in your lane on the rest of the route (there are blind hill crests and turns), leave room for other riders and cars to pass, realign to single file when cars are passing, and communicate. Thanks!
