Can you tell I've done this before? Exactly 6 years, year 'round. I didn't know there was a bike summit here today, I'll have to come down at lunch to check things out. Will you guys be doing a ride today? If so, what time? Seems I've seen large numbers of riders around this time of year, in year's past, but wasn't sure what to attribute it to. Should be a nice day for a ride.
