Come celebrate another great biking season (although we will continue to ride beyond this date as weather permits)!! Let’s meet at Lock 15 for dinner. Lock 15 is across the foot bridge from the Mustill store.
Those that would like, can meet at 5 by the Mustill store and ride north on the Towpath for an hour and then turn around and be back to Lock 15 by 7 for dinner.
Please RSVP if coming for dinner so we know how many seats to reserve at the restaurant. Spouses and significant others are welcome. If you are just doing the ride but not staying for dinner please indicate that in the comments. The restaurant can only seat a group of 25 together so we want an accurate count. Hope to see you there!
