April 30 is the 5th Saturday of the month, so following tradition it is time for another One Club Ride. We will all ride out together at 8:00 am from OCRR. All routes follow the same first section, out through CUSM towards I-15, Rock Springs and Richland to Walnut Grove Park, where we stop and re-group.

Afterwards we meet up for: Beer and Pizza at Dos Desperados Gather at Dos Desperados, just a block from OCRR on Linda Vista Dr., for beer and free pizza starting at 11:30. Wear your club kit and receive $1 off your beer (thanks Dana for negotiating this).
