President's Report for June
Greetings my fellow members and cyclists.
May had some great weather for riding. We started with Tour de Cure
supporting Diabetes Research and Programs. Thanks to Tom Butler for
organizing our Cycling over Sixty team. I was cycling over 80 and
found the course quite challenging with steep grades.
