Update: The rain that came overnight has moved on, so the ride will start at 8:00, as planned.

This Saturday, starting at 8:00, we’re going to ride south to Northfield in a counterclockwise direction. It will be warm for this time of year, with temps from 69 to 76 degrees, mostly sunny skies, and a south wind around 6 mph. Next weekend, it will be about 20 degrees colder, so let’s enjoy what may be our last ride of the year without arm and leg warmers.

If you haven’t heard, Shimano is issuing a voluntary recall of some bonded 11-speed HOLLOWTECH II road cranksets produced before July 2019 for a possible bonding separation issue. If you have a bike with affected crank arms, please inspect them before your next ride.
