This was supposed to be a roundtrip ride on the IHRT, with an optional start from Laurel Springs Park. Darin King joined me at Laurel Springs, and since no other riders joined in White Plains and we'd both ridden to the start, we plotted our own course. I wanted to visit the location of my crash in October and Darin agreed. After 7 miles on the IHRT, we turned left on Bumpy Oak and navigated over to Rose Hill Road. Darin had to remind me where I took my spill; soon we were staring at a section of road with a narrowing shoulder and a grassy ditch below. I had a memory of the crash, but seeing the location again made it clearer and brought closure. We continued on, enjoying the Rose Hill descent into Port Tobacco. After crossing Rt. 301, we rolled out Springhill Newtown Rd., eventually meeting Bel Alton Rd., where we thanked each for the company and bid farewell.
