July 7, 2009 saw eight riders in our group. One was courageous enough to join us on a 3 speed just taken out of storage. Another new participant had fabricated his own disc to cover the rear wheel spokes for better aerodynamics. It is always interesting to see the varieties of equipment and the people who ride them. Bicycling is another way we celebrate diversity.

Our distance was 14.8 miles and the average speed 12.3 mph. The group kept spreading out as we encountered hills, but we frequently regrouped. Oh, I picked up a dime.
