Hello GCC!<div><br></div><div>The Tioga Riders group has had a lot of fun on our own routes this year, as well as the occasional tag-along ride with SxSW road group. I got to meet some new and strong riders and I think we even helped a few people get used to riding at a higher pace in a group and ready to try out some of the &quot;A&quot; rides in the Spring. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, as timing would have it for me, I am not able to keep this ride going as it is posted for the remainder of this year. There have been some very big and positive changes in my life that unfortunately take me away from cycling right now. One is due to a new baby joining our family on 10/14/2012 and some new business responsibilities have been placed on my plate for the future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, I haven&#39;t anyone in the group as a &quot;ride leader&quot; and so I am shutting down this ride. Today 10/24/2012, is going to be the final posted &quot;Tioga Riders Group&quot; Ride as you may be used to seeing. I will not be there so if a number of people show up, you can decide on the route to ride tonight or (My suggestion) you can join up with SxSW group. This is also their final regularly posted ride for tonight.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is not the end of the Tioga Riders Group. We will begin riding again around the end of February or Early March 2013. I have a few ideas for next year that can really make this ride more fun and challenging.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you to all who came out to ride with us and I look forward to riding with you all again in the spring!</div><div><br></div><div>David Bello</div>
