HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I led the 1st four Sunday Social Rides of the year. The 1st one had 9 riders and we checked the new North Nevada connector road that turns into Dublin - it has promise as a new "connector path" for our north trips. The temperature during the ride reached 40'F. The 2nd one had 26 riders and we rode the Greenway Trail, looped by the World Arena, up the Shook's Run Trail, and down Tejon back to the park. The temperature reached 50'F. The 3rd one had 8 riders and we rode from the park out to 31st Street, along Garden of the Gods on 30th Street, turned up the Mesa Rd hill, and back to the park. The temp barely hit 40'F and it was windy. The 4th ride had 24 riders and we did the 1st ride backwards to get more people exposed to the new connector route. The temp was in the 50'Fs but it didn't feel like it. Al Brody will lead the February Sunday Social Rides.

Harry Harris made huge progress in his recovery. He and Rhoda are home for the first time in 18 months. They have some visiting medical help, but he is well enough to live at home now. They were going to be our surprise guests at the Holiday Party, but Harry had a fever since he returned home on Dec 5th - so they sent their best wishes to us at the party. People can leave voice mails on his cell phone. The number is 719-510-5259. You can leave him a message, maybe call ahead and drop by.
Remember, a Stop sign means STOP – let’s make sure we each take our foot from the pedal and put it on the ground!!!
