Despite it being dark, and cold, at 5:40 am there were a dozen riders out for the first morning ride of 2019. First timers along with returning riders quickly fell into the rhythm of riding, chatting and laughing that define our rides. Our laps of Explorer were quick but not punishing, and only a few stuck around for post-ride treats at the café. The season is here, but much like the weather, we all need some warming up.
