From Mark:

I hope to see many of you this Sunday at our annual meeting. It’ll be a fun opportunity to review a great year and to talk about next year.

We have a pretty ambitious schedule for 2015, designed to give us (1) multiple opportunities to qualify for Paris-Brest-Paris, (2) good training for PBP, and (3) great rides and challenges for those not going to PBP. All of this will only happen with a lot of your help. Please contact me before (or at) the meeting if you are willing to organize (or co-organize) any of our events for next year.
