On another cloudy, chilly Saturday morning we set off from Accokeek Firehouse, eventually, for General Smallwood State Park. The CC group included Calvin Conyers, Walt Chalmers, Dan Donahue and Larry Perkins with me and Reggie Stokes leading (shepherding might be a more appropriate term). Before we arrived at the park, the sun finally emerged and we were able to enjoy the warmth at our rest stop at the marina at Sweden Point. Before we left the park, we rode over to General Smallwood’s Retreat where we encountered the steepest hills of our ride.
As we gathered before heading out, we admired the reindeer antlers decorating Dan’s helmet in celebration of the season. Someone noted that it was still hunting season .
We were joined by a rider from the B group (whoever) on the return trip by way of Indian Head Highway. There was one flat which was repaired and all returned to the fire house safely–as far as we know. I’d tell you how far we went but I’m not sure there was a functioning computer in my group. Another successful outing.
