it was fun last time. But this time I'll be down there again. And when the meat is over, will there be a ride meeting at the fountain again?

Hi, Gary!

Everyone enjoyed seeing Santa Cruz represented by you and Rick @Scrick67
with a big load of bikes and parts for the February swap.
The August 9th Orange Cycle Summer Swap Meet will be held before the Old Towne Orange Bike Ride, and there will be enough time between events to join the ride starting a block away at The Fountain!

Looking forward to seeing you and Rick in August,
Charlie
