the Boston Bike show. Lot's to look at and a lot of fun!

Pot-luck and sledding Hayride party.
What a great time - and a big crowd! We had 28 members
and friends attend and the weather cooperated for our Hayrde too. We spent
about an hour with two new friends - Bo and Luke our draft horses - that
took us around the woods and fields of Ashby. Then it was back to the
farm for food and to look at the ride schedule for 2007.

at Mother Anna's
Come see what progress the "Big Dig"

was ice cream too!

England's Stonehenge and UNH's
