Ride Leader Sharon Miller was joined by Mike and Regina Saizon and Jay Lewis. It was a beautiful sunny day for a ride, with temperatures in the 70's and 80's, low humidity, and a cool breeze. Eight miles into the ride, we met up with the group from Steve's 3-day History Tour at Cecil's Old Mill & General Store. After lingering there a bit, the 2 groups rode the next 8 miles together to St. Mary's City Historical Park, where we said our goodbyes and proceeded to ride around the park and surrounding waterfront area. (Steve's group stopped to tour on foot.) We rode at a leisurely pace, especially as we rode by St. Mary's college, St. Mary's City and some of the more picturesque areas by the water. After a stop at St. James Deli (mi 22), we headed back toward Leonardtown, stopping at Russell's Store (mi 34). At Mile 42, Mike, Regina, and Sharon opted to do the extra 10 mile out and back down Breton Beach Road, and Jay rode 2 more miles to finish. Avg for the day was ~14 mph, a true B pace. Thanks to those who joined me for the ride and to Steve Palinscar for providing the great route!
