Fellow riders,
Unfortunately the forecast from earlier this week has not changed. Looking at the radar there is a large rain cell that will move through the area between 8 and 10AM.
Today's ride is cancelled.
Should be opportunities though for all of us to still get out this weekend. Hope you do.
Thx,
Joe

ABC Riders,
Last week we travelled down to Rogue Hollow and Canal Fulton. 14 riders left from Bath for a trek of 46 or 64 miles. The 64 mile crew (Mark, Steve, Bob) and I celebrated with a picture with Chief Logan!
This week we're heading southeast for a tour of area lakes. A big thanks to our very own Jim Bowker for help on the routes. They're a little longer than usual this weekend, but a little flatter - 58 and 74 miles!
Randy will be out for the next few weeks. 
We look forward to seeing him back out on the road soon! For this week, Esther has offered to lead the shorter route. Thank you Esther!
The routes share the first 40 miles, so you can wait until then to decide your final mileage.

The weather forecast is calling for rain. 
I will check the forecast Saturday morning and e-mail an update by 6AM on the status of the ride.
There are many changes to our approach to our club rides due to the pandemic. Please read the attached MSWord document and be prepared to abide by and support these new rules. The health and safety of our riders is our primary objective.
A few callouts:
- We will not be passing out or sharing materials during the ride. This includes cue sheets. Please bring to the ride some means of following the route, either your bike computer or a printout of the cue sheet. This week's cue sheets are attached.
- And we will not be stopping as a group at any time for an organized, sit down food stop. This is another CoViD thing. To be safe, bring any hydration / nutrition you anticipate needing. If needed, we can stop at a convenience store or gas station to get additional supplies.
See you Saturday,
Joe & Randy
