The ride from Preble for a ride thru Otisco Valley and lake started with four riders seeing a mid 60's and sunny day.

 

One rider had just finished an ER shift at midnight and was his first ride from Preble.  He noted how great a place it was for a ride.

 

Being a Friday, it was our usual social ride where we would gather at points after the tops of the many climbs.  Thanks to the lead rider who deflected a dog who darted out from a wooded area on an upgrade.

 

The last half of the ride had a tail wind which helped on the climb above the lake.

 

Oatmeal raisin cookies at the end.

 

Oh all did the 39 miles

 

Thanks to the group for waited for me at the top of climbs. (in the shade)
