Sat Aug 30 SRV Ride

[DaleP]

Dale will be leading this epic rural ride today out Rosalia, routing through Malden, Pine City, St. John, Steptoe, then on to Oaksdale and back to Rosalia. Oh...did I forget to mention that between Steptoe and Oaksdale is Steptoe Butte and this ride will not be complete without a ride to the top of the Butte!!! This is really a fairly moderate ride with just a few hills of any mention, Steptoe Butte being one of them. If people are up to more miles, we can turn at Oaksdale, go to Tekoa, Fairfield and back to Rosalia for around 100 miles!!! Plenty of places for food and water stops along the way. Post here for car pooling needs.

Who is in???

[Mike S]

Wish I could be there Dale. It's pouring rain and humid here in Virginia and I don't have a bike anyway. All I can do is cycle virtually on the internet.

Tommorrow's ride is on. Meet at Rosalia Park at 9:00am. See you there!

can't make it tomorrow, so I did it today. Really fun doing 12 mph into the wind alone.

Have fun.
