Murals

Our evening ride visited six walls in Richmond where work on murals has been started for our "Festival of Murals." It was exciting to see the progress and to know that more art work will soon adorn walls in our community.

We rode 18.1 miles at an average speed of 12.3 mph. Another great ride with good fellowship.

The Palladium-Item ran these words in an article recently:
