October 2 – 8, 2024 We had full day scheduled starting the next morning, with a breakfast meeting with our Charlotte cycling friends up in the farthest northern corner of Concord at an obscure, but definitely worth the money establishment, the Crack of Dawn Diner. Normally we meet with this group of friends on a […]

October 29 – November 2 The next morning, Sunday, we’d get to participate in a bike ride we’ve long missed doing, that is the occasional Breakfast ride with Charlotte Area Cyclists, hosted by our good friend Maurice who started and runs the club. This is probably the shortest ride the club offers, as we’ve enjoyed […]
