June 3, 2008 ride was typical with 14.1 miles and and average of 12.2 mph. Only two riders and I suspect that was due to storms in the area. It rained about an hour before the ride and the sky was threatening. We felt a few drops but finished on dry roads.
As a high point of the ride, we saw two "Black Vultures" (Coragyps atratus) on the road. We are used to seeing "Turkey Vultures" in our sky, and these were decidedly different. Since they were on a bridge, we got to see them closely as they took off and flew out over the river.
At one intersection on the ride, I said I just had to stop for a dime. The response was, "You have to stop even for a penny." He was right. Later in the ride I had to stop for two nickels.
