August 4th Ride, 10:00AM - 1:00PM

Hello,
Beverly (my wife) broke her back. The damage is ultimately not functional but painful and she is not active. Today the doctor said she will not be able to resume normal activity for one to three months. The impact on Bev and I is that we will not be able to attend all of the rides. If you are a regular rider who is familiar with our rides, it would be helpful if you could let me know what rides you intend to ride and if you will be there to help those who need assistance. Thank you for your help.
