LCRVHC/BPC 2021–2022 Calendar
Please be thinking about the 2022 calendar. If you are interested in hosting or leading a MO ride, have an idea for a future program, clinic, or activity; a topic you would like to learn about; a skill to share; or would like to host a (post-Covid) winter party or summer picnic, please email [email protected]. LCRVHC has a Facebook page for member-only rides: facebook.com/lcrvhc. Check it out!
Ride dates and locations subject to change depending on weather and conflicts. Depending on how many riders we get, we may break into smaller groups. Please RSVP to [email protected] or call or text LCRVHC ride manager Liz Kennedy at 860-227-9814 for details. Let us know if Saturday or Sunday is better for rides.
