Rod led this ride. 6 riders: Rod, Fred, John M. Mike, Bill (1), Bill (2). Good ride, reasonable terrain, a couple of dogs, no incidents. Considerable improvement in riding technique noted for Bill (2). Lunch at the Cove. Someone who ate there will need to add their comments.

Rods Comments: "We had three riders: Linda, Fred, and Rod. The ride went pretty smooth until all our electronics started dying. We cut the ride short and completed approximately 26 miles. The gpx files only shows just over 22 miles.

John P and John M joined us at Tony G's for lunch which was very good.

Linda will lead next …
