The ride for 9/7/2023

START TIME IS 1800 (6PM).  Nights are getting exponentially shorter every day now.  Make sure to outfit your stallions with lights.  Be safe and be seen.

The heat should be moving out for our ride.  Start time temps are predicted to be 73 with a west wind of 7 mph gusting to 15.  There is a 34% chance of rain.  I am betting on the 66% chance of no rain. 

With the earlier start time, we will probably see some work traffic.  So please use caution on all turns and intersections. 

Be safe, have fun.
