Ride Update
I did my preride today and wanted to let everyone know that the water fountains have been turned off. There are restrooms at the start and throughout the ride but no water fountains. We will pass places to buy drinks and can easily stop.
There is a bit of construction in places on the route. Depending on what it looks like tomorrow we may cut out a small section of the route in Columbia City.
