Beautiful ride on Pleasant Valley Road with Mike Foster today!
Instead of the full loop (to Rt 103 & Rt 5), we rode back through Saxtons River again...much nicer! Squeaked in 20 miles toward my weekly goal of 25 miles for the Pedals to the People Fundraiser Challenge! Congrats to Berta Martin, who won last week's raffle,
a 6 month membership to Greater Rock Fitness!
Next Friday's raffle item is a $50 gift certificate for the Pizza Stone!
