Dear Friends,
Randy and I want to take a moment to thank all our friends in the NHCC who helped to make our recent marriage celebration such fun, and so memorable. We loved seeing all those blue jerseys and happy smiling faces at the town hall after our ceremony. We’ve always said it feels like everyone in the Club is like family to us, and you sure did make it feel that way for us with your cheering and enthusiasm!

We also want to say that we are especially grateful and thankful for the unexpected and very generous gifts from our “Friends in the NHCC”. We will be dining in style for some time to come! For those who came to the outdoor celebration in the evening at Randy’s house, thank you for braving the elements to celebrate with us. Your presence seemed to diminish the outside temps and made us feel warm and cozy.

Randy and Anita

Sunday’s ride will be a repeat of Thursday’s. Payne has gravel at the north end by the new solar farm but we rode it today and it was OK. If you’d prefer to avoid it, you can keep riding on Community Centre Road into Baltimore and catch Nagle from there.

Date: Sunday, June 14th
Time: 10:00
Start Location: Donegan Park
Ride Coordinator: there may not be a ride coordinator on site Sunday, but seeing how Level 3 and 4 riders are expected to have a map and be self sufficient, you can figure it out 🙂
