The weather forecast for Wed. and Thur. is for snow in the mountains and cold mornings. Even though the ride starting time is 10:30 it may be too chilly for some people to ride. Richard Roth assures me that there is adequate parking at 2300 West Alameda for anyone that wants to just go to the luncheon at 12:00.

The schedule is a little different in that the rides are for one hour and thirty minutes not a set distance. The A ride is lead by Mark Roseman and goes out Camino De Las Crucitas crosses at Montoya to Tano Roads and then heads towards Las Campanas and returns via Paseo De Vista and Nopal (a new  route). The B ride leader is Edwin Crosswhite and is a shortened version of the A route. The C ride goes out Buckman Road but does not go to Las Campanas. Pam and Brian will lead this group. 

The luncheon has 40 signed up and starts at 12:00. If you want to have a “drink” you will have to make some kind of arrangements to get them to Karin. There is no cost to SOB members for the food but you must let Karin know you are coming so she knows how much to prepare. Her e-mail is  KarinRoth@msn.com 

Anyone wanting their new 2012 jersey/kits delivered must let Herb know and he will bring them to the luncheon. They can contact him at schonherb@comcast.net. 

The ride will end at Richard and Karin Roth’s community room at the corner of Alameda (2300) and Camino Carlos Rael. Anyone riding to the luncheon will have to ride the 2 miles back to the Salano Center via Alameda or on a paved bike path along the Santa Fe River.
