        Mark your calendar for our fall general meeting to be held Sunday, October 27 following our traditional end-of-season "Cider Rides." Three routes, three distances are offered. Roll out is 10 a.m. Meeting will follow at 1 p.m. in the Como Lake Park Casino, just north of the main parking lot.

        The big item on the agenda is the election of officers and board members. Watch this space and your NFBC e-mail for information on nominations and for other topics to be added to the agenda. We will arrange some lunch, as well.

        In case of bad weather -- rain, sleet, snow, gale force winds -- the meeting will proceed as scheduled. In case of a county-wide driving ban, the meeting will be rescheduled.
