Cider Mill party ride moving from Saturday to Sunday

This is a tough call but the forecast Saturday looks too questionable and Sunday looks like a perfect day.

The rides from Bed 1 on Saturday 6/27 between 9-9:15AM will be moved to Sunday due to likely rain on Saturday.

Manny will move the rides and riders to Sunday on the schedule and hopefully everyone can make it and a few others too!

We will meet at the Burnt Mills Cider Mill afterwards 3540 Rt. 206 Bedminster for club supplied sandwiches and cash hard and soft cider immediately after the ride around 12:30PM: )
