The weather for Sunday looks wonderful so we’ll head out to East county and up into the mountains for our First Ride of 2012. We’ll meet at WalMart near Aero Drive and I-15 (ride location #1) at 10:45 with the Rider’s Meeting at 11 AM. The ride will end at Harrah’s Rincon Casino around 2:30 where you can have lunch if desired before heading home. We hope to see many of you at Wal-Mart on Sunday morning.
