    It looks like rain is likely but if it turns out ok, we will stay close to home and do Louis's Lunacy Modified. Rain cancels

    HillsRUs for Wed  March 6 is cancelled. Weather Underground is forecasting an 80% chance of rain throughout the day.
  • Tue, March 05, 2013 9:45 AM | Michael Khaw (Administrator)

    Due to the rain on Wednesday, the Social D group is going to meet at Shoup (9:45 for 10:00 start) tomorrow, Tuesday, March 5th.  We'll do the Wednesday listed ride, Louis Lunacy, Modified. Route sheet here, or see the Hills R Us blog entry for Wednesday March 6.

    Hope to see you there.

    After sharing leadership of Hills R Us for over a year, as well as having been substitute leader countless times before, Mike Harding has retired from leading Hills R Us. Thanks, Mike! We hope you'll be back to ride with us and will miss you.

    Martha Landis Kiernan, who co-leads the Social Climbers version of the ride, will join the route planning rotation in Mike's place.

    I'm reorganizing some of the directory structure of the image files used on the Western Wheelers website to reduce clutter and chaos. I don't know how smart the underlying service is about it. If it isn't some of the older posts on this blog may suffer "broken image" links. I'll fix them up as they're found.
