6 riders showed up @ the Grist Mill in Parish, with one rider showing up @ the Fulton Commons Shopping center, on a nice Friday morning. This counter clockwise loop provided many tree-lined roads that were quiet and without fresh gravel. Somewhere on CORT 30, we lost sight of 1 of the group, and waited 5min @ Salmon Reservior to allow a catch up. A call to the rider revealed that a flat had occurred and for the group to continue on. Although there was no Osprey in the power line tower nest, one was spotted hunting for a fish lunch. Trudging against a moderate head wind that seemed to come from a number of different directions, the main group got back to the parking lot and packed up the cars, still with no sight of the missing 6th rider. To our dismay. the ice cream parlor was down. Finally,  an OOC'er volunteered to drive the course in reverse to make sure our missing member was OK. 1/2 mi from the start, our rider was found riding back. As it turned out the problem was a faux-flat,,,a slow leak.
