Monday, May 26 by silvia

We’re having miserable luck with the weather on Wednesdays. With this Wednesday looking as wet as last Wednesday, we’ve made the call to move up our Ride of Silence to Tuesday, May 27.

We still roll out from outside the West Windsor Senior Center at 7 p.m. for a 10-mile, 10-12 mph ride. Please arrive at 6:45 p.m. to register and for a group photo.

Helmets are required. Don’t forget lights and/or reflective gear. All are welcome. We will ride as a group as much as possible.
