Friday IHRT ~20 miles

Fri, August 08, 2025 9:00 AM | Ron Altemus (Administrator)

Leader:  Ron Altemus

Members & Guest:  Susan Altemus, Fran Jezisek, Howard Wilson (guest), Robin Garnett, Jackie Schoch, Donaro Gardner, Connie Quikstad, Vicki Garlock, Mark Garrison, Leesha Saunders, Carl Hattery.  Not pictured (late arrivals):  Pat Colvin, Darryl Meyer   

 
Route:   Friday's fav - Indian Head Rail Trail from Livingston Rd parking lot east to White Plains trail head for a rest stop.  Return retraced the IHRT back to the start.

Weather:   another most excellent day.  Partly sunny giving way to mostly sunny w/temp range of 70-78 degrees, very low humidity, and 5-7 mph air out of the east

AMS:   varied significantly by rider

Mechanicals/Mishaps:  none

Report:  a big turnout matched by high numbers of other cyclists on the trail today, especially between Bensville and White Plains.   There were quite a few groups, ranging from 3 to 5+ riders.  Of course, our group spread out considerably, so maybe to others, we also looked like small groups of riders.  Usual number of walkers and/or joggers.  

We welcomed Vicki back to our Friday rides.  She has a new Urtopia ebike that she really enjoys.  Howard was a guest and also enjoyed today's ride.  Minimal wildlife sightings as only a couple of deer were seen on the western part of the trail.
