Mattaponi 46 Mile Excursion, B, 46 miles

Sun, September 11, 2016 8:30 AM | Diane Harris (Administrator)

A big change in the weather today compared to yesterday.  Moderate temperature and breezy.  Tom Short, Barb and Ron Haney, Lou Dallorso, Kenneth Mundy, Calvin Holmes, Liam Healy, Andrea Noseck (recovering from being hit by a car), Ron Leak and Ken Meredith who rode to the start from Ken's house, joined me on this ride.  The group stayed together for the first few miles before splitting up into the faster and B's.  Ken wasn't feeling too well and decided to shorten his ride by cutting the ride to rejoin us before the rest stop.  Following the rest stop we continued on, again splitting into 2 groups.  In addition to the usual pot holed roads of Cedarville, McKendree, Cherry Tree Crossing, we can add Cross Road Trail.  That was the worse and should probably be avoided on future routes until it's repaved.  Everyone made it back to the parking lot uneventfully, with Ken and Ron heading back to their start location before the rest stop.  The only mishap was Ron's flat tire before reaching the ride start.  Stats - 46 miles, 15.2 ams,1477 feet of climbing, parts of the ride with pretty strong headwinds.

    Much of Cedarville has been repaved, and probably doesn't belong in the Pothole Hall of Shame any longer. But Cross Road Trail has deteriorated shockingly this year, with some of the worst potholes located on shady descents.
