Goodbye and good luck to our weekday ride leader – Andre Preotesa (he’s moving to the suburbs). With Andre’s departure we are in desperate need of a weekday ride leader for next year (typically April through September). At a minimum we plan on offering 1 morning ride but the past couple years we were fortunate to have Tuesday and Thursday morning rides. Let the BOD know if you’d like to get more involved.
We are having the October Club social tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm at Moran’s Pub in Hoboken. Stop by and enjoy the good company of fellow club members without the spandex.
