Today's ride was 34 miles, with wind and chilly temperatures. Eleven riders joined me: Paul and Linda Bankerd, Mike Bivens, Richard Harrington, Jim Hudnall, Darryl Lowery (preparing for writing a paper prior to his evening class), Steve Palincsar, Larry Peed, John Riconda plus Yvonne and Henry Hoyle on their super trikes doing their own thing. We circled around and about from Bryans Road Shopping Center toward Indian Head then to the Trail, and then through Pisgah. We stopped at the store on Rt. 6 near the community of Welcome (the store is on the obscure Welcome Rd. while the map says Welcome is more or less in the middle of Mill Swamp). The store is friendly and has a bathroom, a good rest stop. It is actually reached off Fire Tower Rd, a hundred feet or so before Rt. 6. We encountered lots of one lane closures for road work today but friendly flag crews gave us plenty of time to get through.
