Well Heather, you missed a great ride, some yummy cookies & good barbecue, oh yeah and some rain. Dan & I joined a few hundred other riders in Brownsburg for the B&O Trail ride. We stopped quickly at the first rest stop at 10 miles, just as we were pulling out of the stop we felt the first rain drops. We contemplated taking the 25 mile route back home, but instead headed west and with us came the rain. It rained for the next 12 miles, reminded me of the Vermont JDRF ride last year. This portion of the ride had some good hills, will probably need to head out this way later in the year. As we left the next rest stop the rain stopped. We thought we would get hit again a couple times, but it held off. Of course by this time we were wet, especially our socks, thank goodness it was warm. Leaving the final stop for the final 10 miles we had about a mile into the wind, but the rest of the way wasn't too bad. We had a great lunch after listening to a live band. Sorry the rest of you couldn't join us. See you on Tuesday.

Whoa, whoa, whoa ... hold the phone. I never heard anything about COOKIES!!!! DAMN IT!! :) I'm glad you guys had a great ride.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you all morning and wishing I could be there even in the rain. No childcare, plus an extra kid meant no go for me. I ride the B&O routes often by myself or with a friend or two if anyone wants to join me another day. Yep, those North Salem hills aren't bad. :)
