Anyone who did this ride with Brian Utne would probably agree that he always made every effort to maintain its reputation as "the friendliest 'A' ride you will find".
In memory of our good friend, we would like to make sure the friendly spirit of his ride lives on :-)
We will be doing about 27 miles at an A- Pace, keeping the rolling speed between 19-22 mph and regrouping at stop signs & intersections.
Come out and enjoy an awesome ride with great company!
