| Sidney on the Fourth |
We had a great ride in Augusta last Saturday. We had a great group, the stormy weather held off, no one got (seriously) lost, and we had a great time. Our thanks to Connie Brown (sadly in absentia, and sorely missed) who laid out the route. This Saturday we return to Sidney for Jim Putnam's popular annual "Fourth-of-July" ride in June. In this Leap Year the Fourth falls on a Wednesday, so we'll be riding the weekend before. So why don't we call it the "End-of-the-Fiscal-Year-Ride," you ask? Don't ask. Just show up at the Bean School on Saturday. We'll see you then!
