Hi everyone, it’s official – Sunday May 23rd we’ll be hosting (with the gracious help of The Path Bike Shop) a group ride and BBQ. Funds raised will be going to help out Mtnbikerider Wes Castro as he recovers from a shattered hip. So far the progress has been good with Wes making significant strides in the past few weeks.

Today is the shortest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere. This means that the sun will gradually be setting later in the day. This is good for those who ride after work as, soon, they will be able to ride in the sun.
