JeffK's Sunday 11/9 Report

We all met at 8 AM at Wheatley Road and the Expressway: Bob, Joe, David, Alan and myself.

Because of the prior night's rain and wet leaves, we decided to go out the service road instead of north on Wheatley.

At the corset shop Joe and Alan decided to go straight to Stillwell and back. Bob, Dave and myself wanted a longer ride and we decided to continue on the service road - using the Triangle Bike Club route from two weeks ago.

Dave and I made the right, but Bob continued straight. That was the last Dave and I saw Bob.

Going out we had the wind at our back, so I was able to keep up with Dave.

BTW, Dave has the new Garmin bike GPS. At the end of the ride it indicated that we had climbed about 1300/1400 feet, about Rupert's!

We went out past Dix Hills and came back - the last 25 miles into a 10-15 mile headwind.

Dave was kind to wait for me at each stop light!

Weather was perfect - high 40's with sun.

Finished about 11:20 AM with 53 miles.

See everyone this Sunday.
