The snow on the ground has left Patrick & Dave no choice, and they have now cancelledthe ride they were due to lead & tail today to Willow Tree Farm. The café remains a very nice spot for breakfast, however, and is sure to reappear as a Sunday Ride destination later in the year. Hope to see you then
