The Bridges Ride begins tomorrow night at my favorite local brewery, Lemonstreet.

Russ says that we have around 40 registered for the meet-and-greet there, with as many as 60 riders total for all of the events.

Saturday there will be three rides.

I will lead a group to Fernandina Beach to dine at Sliders, an oceanfront restaurant where we will sit outside if the weather allows.

The Sunday ride will be a little shorter than usual with the ferry out of service but Russ has a new route that will get us over the seven bridges.

Anyone who wants to join in is invited.

No entry fee, no swag bags, just riding among friends.

Bill


The Hart Bridge last year with Diesel and others in tow.

I'm waiting on my room at Hilton Garden Inn to be ready by sitting on the patio at the Seven Bridges brew pub in its parking lot having lunch. I came in a bit early avoiding the thunderstorms yesterday afternoon.
