Joanne,
I can understand not wanting to ride and then play hockey. I can only handle one sport a day! However, the ride has been shortened to about 27 miles. The speed is not fast at all.
Wow, it is just pouring out. We were supposed to have our bike rally today and ride 50 miles, up into Hollis, NH. Of course, it was cancelled, but we still have the dinner tonight. Went hiking in Estabrook Woods, in full rain gear. It is just soaked in there. I hope it dries soon, because I love to mtb there. Very easy on the main trail, with some challenging single track on the side trails.
