We had a really nice turnout (13 riders) this morning for the Bensville 42. I figured the 10am start would afford us a couple extra degrees of warmth, but the fog cast a pall over the start. A nice collection of "pullers" carried us to our rest stop in Nanjemoy at a brisk 18+AMS. By that time, the sun was in full effect and the morning chill had dissipated, only to be somewhat dulled by another dustup with the Nanjemoy Store management. Enough said...
For the second half of the ride, the group splintered into approximately 3 factions, resulting in a wide AMS range of 14.5-18.5. I wandered around through the middle faction (17AMS) while Nancy graciously monitored the back of the pack (Thanks, Nancy!).
No mechanical incidents or injuries this time!
