Touring, ‘unofficial’-4

Please register for this ride here: https://forms.gle/pEZCMEwNBJXfu1ki7

Informal touring ride. Touring rides in April and October do not have assigned leaders and do not have a planned route. Due to often unpredictable weather during those months, distance and route is determined by whomever shows up. Only the start/meeting site is predetermined. There may be one or more groups and/or destinations.

No valid “end” times are listed for touring rides because of differences in riders’ speed and distance traveled.
