We had a great ride.  Many riders turned up to brave the chilling wind.  It was blowing at 5mph.  It lowered the temperature to 60F.  With this adversity we soldiered through the cranberry bogs.

We had 4 groups.  A group, B group, C group, and the short group.  There will be video highlights, soon.

The A group rode 35 miles at 18mph.  The B group averaged 17mph.  We had about 25 riders, all together.

Tom and I were flying on Ring Road.  Lots of fun was had.

Hanson Ride 11/13/16

The Hanson ride is  a go for 9 AM on Sunday.  See you there.

National Weather predicts a high of 60F and sunny skies.  We know how that one can play.  However, I am hoping for great weather!

Please be ready to roll at 9 AM, sharp.

Thanks,

We had a great ride on 11/06/16 in Hanson. We had sunny skies that disappeared rapidly. We rode in some light rain. The sun returned as soon as reached the parking lot. We had 16 riders brave the rain. The new club jackets are great in the rain.

Tom was flying on the Franklin Street Flush.  All of Franklin Street in Halifax has been paved.  The front group held 23 mph going down the whole thing.
