Here's an update on the Saturday ride from Linda Kidd.

A few of us are going to start at the Trail Head at 9:00 Sat. and ride to NB and stop at Subway for a quick bite to eat. On the way back we will jump off the trail and make our way back to BG - about a 35 mile ride. Hope some of you can make it - we will leave shortly after 9.

If anyone is interested in riding this weekend, post it here or send an email to the group. Russ is out of town but that shouldn't stop a ride from happening. Saturday at Slippery Elm trailhead or City Park. You decide. Probably warm enough to do a 9 am start.

Wish Russ well on his adventure next weekend when he rides to Columbus and then does TOSRV. He can do it. He made all across the US after all.

Ohio Bicycle Calendars are in at Cycle Werks, time to start planning. See you on the trail!

Hey all ... in celebration of the early dawn, effective immediately (i.e., May 19, 2012) weekend rides now start at 8:00 a.m. from City Park.

The Black Swamp Mid-Summer Ride will be in September this year. the 22nd to be exact. Planning is in the beginning stages and volunteers are always needed to man the ride. Stay tuned for more info to come.

Great turnout for the Black Swamp Mid-Summer tour today. And the weather was superb (OK, maybe a bit warm as the day progressed). Thank you to everyone for making the ride a great successs: riders, registration crew, Grand Rapids and Waterville rest stop crews, and sag crews. Mark your calendar for next year's Mid-summer tour!

Mid-Summer Black Swamp Tour is tomorrow! Weather looks like it will be perfect. If you haven't registered yet, no problem. Register in the morning. 62 and 32 mile loops begin and end at the Bowling Green Community Center (at the corner of Newton and Haskins Roads). The 10 mile family ride begins and ends at the Montessori School (Sandridge and Maple). Hope to see you on the road tomorrow!

Whew . . . tough ride Saturday to check out the 62-mile route . . . temps in the 90s! Where was the SAG vehicle?
