9/15 - Best of Brandywine Less short and flat - A/B 34 mi

Thu, September 15, 2016 10:30 AM | Barbara Haney (Administrator)

Leader: Barbara Haney

Members: Ron Haney, Larry Peed, David Schnirel, Bob Howell, Jane and Jim Hudnall, Travis Proctor, Tom Roberts, Alan Kurzweil, Sam Perry

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/16531008, a variation of Steve P's Short and Flat, just a bit longer and less flat, Cedarville/ Baden/Aquasco, Moreland Mkt, returning to Brandywine on the western side with a deviation through the Pinefield neighborhood.

Weather: pleasant early fall-like temps in the 70s, overcast, a bit of a wind

AMS: 18.6 front, in the 15.5-16 or so range for sweep

Report: Ten A/B riders took advantage of the short/flatness of the route to ride at a brisk pace today. We welcomed Joan back to the Thursday group rides, then set off with a nice tailwind; after the additional few miles and the Woodville hill on the first segment of our route, we arrived at Moreland Market around the same time as the CCs. After chatting awhile, we quickly took care of the little climbing that was left to do and then enjoyed the flat final miles. Despite the wind, it was a great day to ride; thanks to all who came out!
