The ride was good; I wrote about it in the 9/4 rides thread. The start was a little hairy, where we all went out together, across both lanes of Monument St., through the center and over to Rt. 62 toward Bedford. But, after that, it was uneventful. There was quite a cross section of riders. It was slightly ho-hum for us, as it was on roads we ride a lot... although there were a couple of places that we were coming from the opposite direction that we usually do, so it seemed different.
It still seemed a little hot and humid from the storm when we were riding, and the wind didn't really pick up until the afternoon, when we were already home. I am recovering from a sinus infection, so I didn't feel that great during the first part of the ride, when I was hammering to keep up with DH. Finally, I gave up on that, but I was still going fast. After I got to Ferns for the rest stop, I slowed down a bit.
If you ever are interested in riding, I will be free on Wednesdays and Fridays starting this week, as well as weekends.
