Pant Pant

July 29th saw us with five riders. Found a quarter and another rider spotted two pennies. The distance was 20.3 miles and our average speed was 14.4 miles per hour. Several runs on the plus side of 20 mph left me panting. We got a little crazy. Three deer were at the edge of a woods and that was a nice sight.

T PARTY

July 22, 2008 We enjoyed Richmond's "T" Party with many Ford Model T cars. The 100 th anniversary of the introduction of the Model T is a cause for celebration and there are over 900 old cars driving around Richmond. One of our riders said it felt like being in a different era, with the old Fords passing our bicycles. I asked him if he wanted to shout, "Get a horse!"

Our ride was 14.3 miles with an average speed of 11.8 miles per hour. One dime and one penny. Four riders total, and we had a good time. Our route included the Cardinal Trail, in Richmond, and a cruise past the Wayne County Fair grounds, where the "T Party 2008" is located. The sounds and sights of the old cars were a true delight.

Summer Days

Summer brings vacations and many activities. I missed the last two weekly rides.
July 1, 2008 There were six riders and we enjoyed an average speed of 11.4 mph. Our distance was 15.1 miles. It was a relaxed ride and the weather could not have been better. We have started the ride at 6:30 pm for the last few weeks. It seems that the new start time will continue. It was a pleasure to welcome Ryan for the first time.
