Some 2015 area event rides

[jim]

Here are some of the event and supported rides in the area. Never to early to plan! (Actually it maybe. One event does not have its date finalized.) Of course, the list is not all inclusive, but it does represent well over 3000 miles of riding. The multi-day rides include the assembly day at the start, except for the STP.
