Suggestions:
We'd like to do close areas such as Van Fleet and Flatwoods, then once or twice a month go farther afield, such as Wintergarden, a beautiful trail that can be as long or short as we want to ride. Sometimes we'll ride to drinks and lunch and others just pack a snack.
We may do some "unorganized rides" earlier than January, based on opportunity and weather and, if so, will post on the website or FB.
Suggested to wear helmets for everyone, of course, it's not required.
No fee. No sign up.
Group travels to various bicycle trails in the area.
Stained Glass
