Special Event Rides

Think Spring: The 16^th annual Think Spring Ride was held on Saturday, April 12, 2008 in the CVNP. About 40 people attended the ride this year.

Tandem Weekend: Our 13^th annual No Frills Tandem Weekend will be held over the weekend of June 6–8, 2008. Come out for one, two, or three days. Mark and Joyce Lange will be the ride directors again this year.

The ABC Ride: Our 33^rd edition of our Absolutely Beautiful Country Ride will be held Sunday, July 13, 2008. Last year we had over 300 riders come out on a pleasant, sunny day to ride through Medina and Wayne counties.

Roscoe Ramble: Our 34^th Roscoe Ramble will be held Saturday & Sunday, August 16–17, 2008. Last year we had 86 riders who rambled to Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio. The weather broke before the ride so there was no rain and only moderately warm weather on Sunday. The food stops were generous as usual, and we had only a couple of mechanical breakdowns which our capable SAG teams handled with aplomb.
