There were 4 of us, a pretty good showing for a ride that was posted just a couple of hours in advance. The fact that the sky was clear and the temperature was in the mid 70's might have had something to do with it!
We had 3 of us old goats and one young lady about 25 years younger. We'd try our best to not drop her.... or die while riding! ;-)
Dropping her wasn't an issue, she road strongly and was breathing down our necks most of the time.
It was a spirited ride, as much for the sheer pleasure of riding quickly as it was trying to complete the ride before darkness! We rode a 21 mile route that had about 1900 ft of climbing. Our 14.3 mph average was respectable.
We managed to finish just shortly after the sun set.
Not many days left this month, and a whole lot of miles to ride yet if I'm to get a thousand miles for October. :-( But I've been having fun!
