Wed, February 08, 2017 10:30 AM | Stephen Palincsar (Administrator)

Ride leader: Steve Palincsar

Members: Alan Kurzweil, Ron Altemus, Darrell Meyer, Joan Oppel, Jessica Hirschhorn, Larry Peed

Weather: another gorgeous Spring-like day.  Temps in the low 60s at the start rising to 72 by 1:30, with a claimed 78 degrees in the sun and out of the wind at the second rest stop at Nanjemoy Community Center.  Thin high clouds with a lower layer of marshmallow & cotton puff clouds with blue skies, bright warm-feeling sun and a brisk breeze made for a magnificent day for riding.

Route: 42 miles, 1400' of elevation gain  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18882091  The route went down Poorhouse to Annapolis Woods, up Durham Church, and Ironsides, Baptist Church and Poseytown to a first rest stop at the Nanjemoy Community Center.  After the break we took MD-6 to Holly Springs and Riverside, then up Maryland Point and back down on Smith Point to Riverside, Liverpool Point and a second rest stop at the Community Center.  We returned on Baptist Church, Bowie and Mason Springs.

Mishaps and mechanicals: none

AMS: 13.3

    Probably the best February 8 ride ever and if you missed it, you missed a great one!
