12 riders were pleasantly surprised to see a near bluebird day of riding, albeit with a moderate breeze from the NW. The 1st of 2 riders to flat waved off help early into the ride, but caught a small group who had the 2nd flat. Flat #2 initially had placed a 42mm stem in an areo wheel designed for a 60mm, and another rider fortunately offered up a 48mm tube that worked well. All but 2 riders opted for the long 41-42mi loop.
