The site says the event is taking place Saturday, May 24 but the 24th is actually a Sunday and then it refers to the 10th of May in the notes, which was the date of last year's ride. If I were to guess though, I'd say that this thing is happening on the 23rd (Saturday). If anyone from the Foothills chapter of Retreads can confirm this information, please let me know or post a reply.
