It’s been a LOOOONG time since I put out a ride list. As my goal in life is to get people outside, active and to build community, COVID posed a real conundrum for me and the creation of this list. During a pandemic it’s not the time to promote public gatherings and as much as I missed group rides and races, every time I sat down to update the list my conscious has said “not yet”. I’m still not sure… Continue Reading ››
