The Tour De Riverdale was a great success and everyone had a great time… except Ronnie. We started at Riverdale High and made a lap around town using the rural, low traffic roads. Then we made several passes through town hitting all the historical sights, and ended up at Riverdale Park and Jug’s cookout. 
Hi Gang
The ride was going really well. We had about 30 riders. Reggie lead the pack -except when he fell back to make fun of Ron. He was followed closely by Midge, Moose, Nancy and Chuck. Betty and I trailed the pack so we could help in case anyone broke down.
Ron was acting real funny. She tried to ride with Betty and me, but Reggie kept heckling her for riding that new expensive racing bike back with “the stragglers” – meaning Betty and me, of course. (Ron does have a very nice bike. It’s purple with red stripes. It has a carbon frame - like Betty’s - except it’s a Road bike, not a Mountain bike.)
Well, Ronnie finally got mad and took off like a bullet. When Bets and I rounded the next curve, there was Ronnie laying on the ground next to her bike. She was crying and holding her left knee.
We got her to the ER in short order. Betty, Midge, Reggie and I followed on or bikes. On the way Midge told us what happened. Ronnie was buzzing up the right side of the trail – which is the wrong side to pass on - when a little girl pulled in front of her on a small bike. Ronnie missed the little girl, lost control of her bike, hit the curb… and the rest is history. Midge said all Ronnie needed was a ching-ching bell and the little girl would have known she was coming.
Ronnie is gonna be fine. She missed Jug’s cookout and will have to wear a leg brace for the next few weeks, but nothing was broke. Reggie took her bike back to R&D Cycles to get it repaired. Between you and me, I think he felt bad for egging her on.
I’m hoping to make this ride a regular part of Riverdale’s July 4th Celebration!
Your Pal,
