 if you would like to see more pictures of my bikes email me at my email address at gdd1991@earthlink.net!!

I may cancel the ride if winds are as the weather app states which may be 20+ mph and that is a safety issue. Please check for cancelations before leaving for the ride

I will be riding today, so hope to see you all! If there is flooding or back winds, be prepared for a reroute and/or a shorter ride!! See you soon!
