15 riders showed up to tackle the hilly Delphi-Damon ride on Sunday.   5 of the riders were guests and assured me that their membership was in the mail.

6 riders completed the 55 mile ride (~3800 ft of climbing) while others did a variety of distances to suit their needs.  Personally, I could not recall feeling that we had a tailwind, so I checked the weather logs.  Yep, winds started out SSE (some headwind going out) and then shifted to the SSW (headwind as we headed west on Damon, Rt 80,etc).  Temps hit a balmy 86 degrees about halfway through the ride, but at least it was a dry heat!!!     Luckily, there was a water stop available in New Woodstock to provide some relief for the long ride.

As far as I know, there were no mishaps other than a thrown chain.  

Total miles ridden:   approximately 683 miles
