[Foothill Cycle Club: 1984] Fontana Choo-Choo Postponed until April 6th

Image
Fontana Choo-Choo Postponed  We have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for Saturday. Typically if it rains on one of our rides, we cancel it, but don't reschedule it. In this case, since Sangita will be doing extensive lunch preparation, we will reschedule the ride for 2 weeks later, Saturday April 6th. We'll reshuffle a couple of rides with the " Great Wall of Los Angeles " now scheduled for this Saturday (3/23). If the predicted rains do not occur, it will be a lovely ride departing from Victory Park at 8 AM. The regularly scheduled Friday updates (1PM tomorrow) will capture the changes. Information on the Fontana Choo-Choo will be updated prior to April 6th. I know that many members have been looking forward to this new ride and we'll get another shot at it in 2 more weeks.   -- ----------------------------------------------------   http://www.foothillcycle.org/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google G...
