Report:
At the start, Steve discovered that replacement electronics and battery for his e-bike were not working. He removed the battery, started with the group but found the now non-e-bike inappropriate for the terrain and turned back.
At Mallows Bay most of the group took an extended break, Duane and Kim said they would ride on together. For the remainder of the ride, the rest of the group spread out, then regrouped a few times, enjoying nice social conversation while riding on the sparsely traveled and well-shaded roads. And the weather report: simply - a totally beautiful day with comfortable temperatures.
