Bike to Carroll Cloar, Saturday, June 29, 2013

Sunday, June 9, 2013

Eight of the BBC rode out to Village Creek this morning, it was a windy, but beautiful day.  The Killough's and Blanton's got in a heavy downpour on their ride home but they toughed it out as us Smith's rode in our dry cars! :)

Wynne native Joe Dooley sent this to me this morning and I thought you'd like to see it.  Not sure we'll make the ride but here's a link to it at the Brooks Museum:
