Tuesday Night Rides on Hold


            The decision to postpone posting our Tuesday Night Ride schedule was made by many of our members who are not yet willing to ride with others.  Our decision is consistent with those of bicycle clubs and outdoor groups around the world.
            Last night Hank Lange posted an e-mail that struck a responsive chord.  He said “Bands of privileged people out doing their thing along the byways of Brattleboro during the height of this public health crisis transmits an unintended message about what kind of people we are that many in the greater community are apt to judge harshly.”
            Thanks to everyone who stepped forward, our schedule for the season is complete. We will post it as soon as it is safe for group rides.  In the meantime, we hope you will get out and ride by yourself or with those of your immediate household.
            Please stay healthy and ride safely!
