As most of you know, we had to reschedule our Spring Kickoff Ride & Picnic due to wet and muddy conditions. Unfortunately, the Larson Farm location is not available over the next few weekends; however, another HBC Member, Neil Johnston, (and his family) have offered their beautiful venue for the rescheduled Spring Kickoff Ride & Picnic. See details below and PLEASE RSVP BY 5/9 so we can plan for food and drink!
