The Ride to Welcome |

| Steve planned the route and led the ride. Pierre made phone calls and Jim sent e-mail inviting cyclists to come out for this club ride. Fourteen riders came and rode a 36 mile loop from Bryans Road to Welcome and back. Young and old came to ride. The youngest rider was eight years old. |

 |
| After 20 miles we were at Scott's Store in Welcome, Maryland. We gathered around the counter and waited for the cook to make tuna fish sandwiches, a house specialty. Freshly made with a lot of pickle relish and onion, the sandwiches were delicious and provided the fuel we needed for the 16 mile run back to Bryans Road. |

| Club President Pierre throws his arms out triumphantly and shouts, "My first time to finish a ride before Benny!" A few minutes later Benny rolls into the parking lot. He had stopped to change a flat for Joni on the hill on Livingston Road. | |
