Rides for this week: Monday July 4 to Sunday July 10

Hey Level 2s, Richard’s got Pie on Sunday!! And for the lucky Level 3 and 4s you’ll be seeing the wonderful market in Rednersville on Thursday. And the Level 1s are going to explore the Wicklow area and wherever the wind may blow them—but its always fun. If you are one of those super-early-crazy-people-who-can’t-sleep-in, you can join Pam Tate and some cyclists she’ll be hosting at her house who are riding from Halifax to Vancouver in support of MS—departing Pam’s house at 7:30am on Sunday. Of course all of the details are found in your Cycle Club account, where you can also RSVP.
