Message From Our Road Captain

Hello all! I'm writing today to ask a favor of you. Some of you are professional drivers, some work in towns/village Highway departments, and some cover a lot of roads in general. I'm asking those of you who are out there, and notice major construction projects on those roads, to e-mail or call me and let me know about it. I try and keep up with what I can on-line, but it's tough to know where all of the construction is. After all, our state seems to have 2 season, snow and construction! As I map the routes to each of our rides this season, I try and find out if that route has any construction I should know about. At almost $4 a gallon now, to be honest, I can't afford to run each of these routes ahead of time.

So I'm asking those of you who notice construction in certain areas to drop me an e-mail, or give me a call, and let me know where you saw the construction. I'll try and make sure that we avoid those areas if at all possible. Just trying to make each of our rides as fun and safe as possible.

Thanks,
Dennis
