Sunday Ride: With a Twist (Part 1) – May 8, 2016
Sunday May 8 2016 turned out to be a ride, albeit with a difference. Started off disappointed that we were not riding the promised distance. Grudgingly showed up, got over the disappointed mood when together with the pack, and then there was no looking back.
