Beautiful day expected today and this evening. Great cycling weather! Stacey will be the B ride leader tonight as I have a meeting to attend. Hope everyone has a great ride!

7/28 Ride

Tuesday's weather looks wonderful - sunny and 86 degrees! This season we've had so many cancellations for our Tuesday night ride due to rain, but hope everyone plans to come out Tuesday for the women's ride at 6pm. It looks like a beauty of an evening.

Happy riding,
Shannon

7/21 Update - RIDE CANCELLED TONIGHT

Hi gals,
I just checked intellicast.com and the weather appears pretty bad. Lots of rain looks to be coming into our direct path in Saco today and this evening. Unfortunately I do not see a break in the clouds. Looks like we will have to cancel the ride tonight and wait for better weather (hopefully) next Tuesday.

Stay dry out there if you can!
Shannon

7/21 Ride

Greetings riders,
Tuesday's weather looks to be great - not a cloud in the sky......haha......not! Looks like another rainy week with scattered thunderstorms every day. Can you believe it? Hopefully the weatherpeople are wrong and we can ride Tuesday night. Unless the roads are wet, we will ride! My meeting was cancelled for Tuesday so I will be there. I will be 12 weeks pregnant Tuesday - anyone up for pizza afterwards to celebrate with me?!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Tour this year. It certainly is exciting! All the drama between Lance & Contador - wow! I think the press is making more out of that than there needs to be. How about those amazing finishes by Mark Cavendish? Pretty incredible, too.

Happy riding,
Shannon
p.s. Ride update - weather forecast for Tuesday night says possible thundershowers. Let's play it by ear and see how things look when it gets closer to that time. If I need to cancel I will post here, but hoping the rain clouds will bypass Saco!

7/14 Ride Summary

Hi gals,
We only had 3 women for our ride last night - where did everybody go?! Maybe it's just middle-of-the-summer busyness. Did the brief rain mid-afternoon scare everyone away? We had a great ride - Heather, Helen and I. Hope to see more of you next week! I have meetings to attend the following two Tuesdays but I will get someone to cover me.

Enjoy the sunshine this week!

Happy riding,
Shannon

Hi gals,

7/7 Ride - Cancelled

Hi there,
You'd think with the date being 7/7 we would get lucky and see some sun today! Oh well, see everyone next Tuesday and hoping for dry roads!

Shannon

7/7 Ride

Hi there,
It's been great to see the sun these past few days! I'm hoping it holds for a few more! Hope everyone had a great 4th holiday with family and friends and included some biking on this long weekend.

I have a commitment I need to attend to on Tuesday night so I will not be there, but I think that this point everyone seems to riding in the A group anyway - well, except for me (being pregnant, I am only riding about an hour or so at a time and keeping the pace at about 15 mph). I hear the A ride went about 24 miles last week and there was a great turnout. Thank you to Meg and Kristie for joining me on the B ride last week. The BBQ was nice and thanks to all the ladies who stuck around after the ride for the BBQ.

If the weather doesn't look good for Tuesday, I will make a post to this blog on Tuesday to let everyone know not to show up.

Thanks everyone!
Happy cycling,
Shannon
