AMS: 15.0 plus or minus. As advertised.
Distance: 46.4 miles.
Mechanicals/Mishaps: One "Bee in a Bonnet". But no bee stings! On Rt. 6 before Dubois Road rider stopped to remove small piece of wire from tire but tire never went flat.
Report: Was concerned that attendance would be low today due to Redskins/Cowboys game. But 5 members did attend the ride in addition to ride leader. As advertised we travelled the Highways and Byways of Charles and St. Mary's Counties. See GPS link for exact route. One stop at Wicomico Shores and a 2nd stop at Chaptico Market. The view never gets old at Wicomico Shores and by now everyone knows how popular the stop is at Chaptico Market. And after Chaptico Market rest stop we resisted the "pull" of 3NT/Pole Land and did the entire route as per cue sheet. Ok....Time Out! One rider was sucked into 3NT/Pole Land at Old Village Road and Lockes Crossing Road and took the trail to New Market Road and then finished ride as per cue sheet. Again thanks to all members who attended the ride. To me another ride into the "Win" column. Take care. Later.
