Temperatures were in the high 20’s at ride start, and there was wind in our faces for 2 straight miles at the start before we could turn away from it: but the weatherman on the radio said there was no wind. I should turn off the radio in the car on the way to rides. Sunny day and 3 Oxon Hill members were at this far away location: Tom Roberson, Steve Palincsar and your ride leader. We did some climbing, got warmed up, sat in the store for the rest stop for a long time, enjoying the heated room. And then left to do a lot more climbing on the way back to the cars, and that took care of any chance to feel the cold. Beautiful ride.
