Is the ride still on for the 19 of July
Hi Norm. Rachelle here. I’ve been out of touch at River and Sky since Wednesday. No internet or cell phone access, so I’ve been out of the loop. I hear that the ride has been postponed to probably the 26th. Jules, who is leading the ride, is unable to make it today.
Is the ride on for July 26
Trying to find out from Julian (our the leader) if he’ll still lead the ride with the heat. It’s pretty hot out there.
