VP Report
Final VP ride on 9/5 all set, detailed post up with route.
Thursday ride continues, David Braunagel has done a good job with me out a couple weeks. Rain has been a problem, but not much to be done about that.
I will be on vacation for the October board and general meetings, and will not attend either. The only thing I might have is an initial estimate for the xmas party catering, and if I do have that I will be sure it’s on my slide before I leave.
FYI 11/20 (tentative) 100 Miles to Nowhere .45 m loop
