I plan on taking 138 but if we have bad weather we will change that to the 14 and I have planned our time accordingly. Please sign up and indicate if you'd like to caravan, and how many people can ride with you. Remember…February is our print competition month I have been talking about for the past couple of months and we would like to get our members to participate in this competition.
