lost

I have no idea what happened but I had the correctly named route on my GPS, but the displayed route was something different. We were supposed to ride a 10 mile ride on bike boulevards, instead we got a 19 mile ride, the first portion being on busy roads with no shoulder. It was bad enough that two of the riders decided not to continue. :-( The rest of us kept riding and finally got off the busy road, but not until we were out near I-205. As we pedaled along the I-205 bike path I turned 10 miles for the day.... and 10,000 for the year. :-)

We turned onto the Springwater Trail and at that point Art wanted to take us directly back to our start/finish since some had other plans for the afternoon that did not involve biking. ...what's up with that? :-O

Here's the route I intended to ride:


Here's what we rode:


I guess all's well that ends well. With the exception of the two who turned around (and the 4 who decided not to show up!) the rest of us had smiles on our faces yet as we finished 19 miles, and sat down to warm company and cold drinks!



I had my new GoPro video camera along on this ride, but had not reviewed it's operation since I got it over a week ago. It seems I didn't quite have the sequence of button pushing down.

So, missed video, missed course, my digital camera was acting up as well and I only got the one photo above today. There was the no show issue as well.

But I did get my 10,000 miles and had the company of good friends doing it.
