I was joined by guests Dan Hoefert and Ray Salvagini along with Ken Meredith on a route that went from Theodore Green to 301 to Demarr to St. Charles Pkwy to Washington Ave to Hawthorne to get on the trail. Now with all the nice 70 degree days we have been having, it would have to be a slightly below average 55 at the start of the ride. This was a shorts and long sleeve jersey or arm warmer day. Very good ride. This was Ray's first group ride. Hes showed up in the parking lot, and we asked if he wanted to ride, and low and behold he came on with us. He said it was better than talking to himself on a ride.
