We had six riders come out for the Sunday ride.   A skinny rogue rain cell decided to park itself over Rt 13 and Rt 80 starting around 9:20.   I swear it drifted south to follow us as we rode along to make sure we had at least an hour of wetness. The S-SW wind was pretty brisk and added to the challenge of the first 15 miles.   Once it it cleared out, Mother Nature turned on the sauna.  Wow! It was sooo sticky!Rider distances:1 - 22 miles4 - 32 miles1 - 49 milesAs the ride leader I mad ...Continue Reading

The temperature was a comfortable 74 degrees.Tuesday evening.
