What a simply SMASHING day for a bike ride! The temp, sunshine and windless day could not possibly have been better. We had a bit of excitement and everyone enjoyed the ride.
RIDERS: Barbara Butcher, Jim Cavanaugh, Susan Golonka, Jessica Hirschhorn, Lynda Honberg, Ron Honberg, Harry Kidd (SWEEP), Kathy King, Karen McMillan, Joan Oppel, Peggy Tyree, Anne Wittenberg.
Babs Butcher had a rear flat, and 3 of us stayed to help her change it. We caught up with the group at Roddy Bridge. We stopped at Loy Bridge. The livestock were out in force today, and we passed many horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and lambs. The sun was brilliant and the early spring wheat was a wonderful deep green.
Roddy Bridge was CLOSED due to damage from a truck, but we were able to figure out a "workaround". Enough said about the details.
Total 36 .28 miles, 1657' elevation with an average speed of about 11.
