We had a nice turnout.  A lot of people did 37 miles on the front group.  We added in some more bogs.  We rode a lot of new pavement.  Many thanks go to the various towns that repaved!  Fuller Street from Togoland to Cedar Street was awesome.

Some of the colors were awesome.  Plus, we saw a few bogs being flooded for the harvesting.  One field was under harvest during the ride.  Expect a few to be harvested during the ride on next Sunday.

We had 20+ riders.  Lots of women rode, today.  One of Mike(Hanson leader)’s goal has been to increase female turn-out.  We are an inclusive club! This includes Arvella, Becky, Diane, Tracy, Maria, Liz, Judy.  Becky set the QOM on the the Half Enchilada Strava Segment.  This is the portion of the ride from the start to Togoland.

We waited at the stop light on Rt 58 to regroup and pause for a few seconds.  Thankfully, we missed the accident that happened on Route 58 northbound.  A dolly went flying from a service station and hit a truck.  This could have been one of us.

We want to see if there interest in ordering another set of the podium jackets for warmer wear.  Please contact Bill.

Below is a picture of Greg on vacation with his wife.  Always wear your SSB kit.

We are riding on Sunday.  We will do 30 miles.  There might be some interest in the 20 mile option.  We roll at 9AM, sharp.  We will meet for coffee after the ride in the Dunkin'(11AM).  We will trade pieces from the new kit after the ride in the Dunkin’.  If it doesn’t fit, then bring it with you.

Meet at the Shaw’s supermarket plaza in Hanson(470 Liberty Street).

Thanks,
Bill

We had a great ride!  It started off, slow.  Two riders missed the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard.  To be true to our word we waited for them at Oak Bluffs.  We ride, together.  This is touring ride, anyways.

We rolled from Oak Bluffs towards the interior of the island.  We made a pass over the northern part of the Forest surrounding the island’s major airport.  From there we made some zig-zags to head towards South Road. We went over some nicely laid pavement.

The wind started to collect its forces against us.  There was a strong

headwind as rolled through Chilmark on the way to Aquinnah.  Combined with the high humidity it made a challenge.  We took a tour of Lobsterville but we did not take the bikeferry to Memensha.  We headed for Gayhead lighthouse.

We stopped at the restaurant overlooking the bluffs to regroup and eat some hamburgers.  Afterall, it was national hamburger day!  We had a great tailwind on the return towards Chilmark.  Those miles ticked furiouslypast.  We went up Middle Road, which featured smooth pavement and a tailwind.

After the ride we stopped in Vineyard Haven for some ice cream at Murdicks.
