17 riders on a Tuesday! Quite a big crowd and cool weather - because today mid-80's felt cool. The group separated quickly into a large crowd off the front, the ride leader and David King in the back and Tom Roberson and Richard Harrington in the middle and Paul Bankerd somewhere in between. I enjoyed David's company all the way to the rest stop at the Welcome Store and then rode with Richard and Tom the rest of the way. In front were Jon Agazzi, Linda Bankerd, Mike Bivens, Jim Hudnall, Alan Kurzweil, Darryl Lowery, Dana Middleton, Sonya Newman, Steve Palincsar, and Mike and Regina Saizan and Loretta Troen. There was some mild grumbling about too many hills but we only went up Chapman's Landing, Chicamuxen, Bicknell, Blossom Point, Rose Hill and Pomfret. We went down all the other roads.....
