Reading Time: 3 minutesLast night’s revelries clearly left many club members feeling fragile this morning, as there were only five of us at the Legion this morning.

Off Road Ride 26 Jan
Reading Time: < 1 minuteEight of us made it out for a ride from Hartford rather than the planned Macc Forest due to the snow.

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor many it was to be the first club run of 2013, for all it was the first official club run of 2013 because last week 1. there wasn’t a set destination and 2.
