Eleven riders came out to ride on an extremely humid morning. A kink in our morning was that route 80 had been waffled for paving. My group decided to do an adventure ride; we made up our route on the fly. It worked out pretty well. The 4 of us did 38 miles w/ a bit of climbing, 2 cyclist rode the 27 miles and 5 cyclist rode the 50 mile route. Everyone made it back save. One flat reported.
I found out after the ride that one of the morning riders is new to the club. Fortunately a very generous member chose to ride with the new member. A huge reminder for me and possibly all of us to look out for the newbies on rides. It’s no fun joining a new group of riders then being left to ride alone.
Enjoy your ride,
