Touch and Go

This week's ride was another great one! Six riders, sunshine, temperature into the seventies, and a good pace. My recording was that we cranked 15 miles at a 12.9 mph average. Mostly south and west, the route included several hills and we got to see a helicopter practicing "touch and go" take offs and landings. At one point our lead rider frightened a large Turkey Vulture into a take off from its evening feast. Different wings, but glorious flight from man and nature.

Another peleton of riders passed us going the opposite direction. It was a thrill to encounter so many bicyclists on the road. There is always so much to see on a bicycle ride. I am thankful for each opportunity.

Thanks to the riders from the community who joined us. Of our six riders, half were new or relatively new to the group. Everyone is welcome. We will continue to start at 5:30 pm each Tuesday until the group decides another time would be better.
