Route: The route started off down Chapmans Landing looping Glymont & over to The Indian Head rail trail . Much of the route followed 224 Chixamuxen rd deep into Riverside to the Nanjemoy store . Pigsah saw us next & we ended up on the Indian Head rail trail once again before the climb up Bumpy Oak to finish .
Weather: Incredible . Mid 50's at the start , Low 70's at the finish . Calm wind all morning & we felt some tailwinds heading back to the start
AMS: 17.2
Mechanicals/Mishaps: I had a front flat tire . Glass
Report: 12 riders showed up hoping for one more glorious ride before the Cold front hit town . We were not disappointed with fabulous weather the whole ride . Riders were constantly peeling off layers through-out the day . The ride started off at a good b-pace as I was in front trying to take it easy . After that several groups would form then come back together again . Many riders were in good form at the end of the season & the front group was cooking at times . Joan , Patricia & Holly rode their on pace & we saw them at the rest stop . Much Thanks to Tom for stopping with Me during my flat repair . Several riders mentioned this was one of the best rides of the season & one to reflect back on over the winter . A Really Nice Group of People made this a easy ride for me to lead & alot of fun for all of Us .
