I heard those shots too, just before Barnsley Gardens , but at least there were a lot of people around me. I would have totally freaked, if I had be all by my lonesome! I'm sorry you were lost and so glad you made it back safe and sound. Someone else told me that the markings were left over from seasons past. They were really poor!

I shared your thoughts about the ride with DH and he thought your musings were soooo funny. He won't get on a bicycle for any reason and can't understand one bit why we do this! He's the one that's missing out.
