FLCC> last sunday moderate ride

[Marilyn Dispensa]

Thanks again to Hobit for having the initiative to quasi-lead a medium speed
ride.
To reiterate , sometimes it seems the group spread out, but if we have some
regrouping points, most of us were within minutes of each other. I had a lot
of fun.
Can I encourage the mediums to come out for the Wednesday evening rides too?
