Riders: Dawn M., Joe M., Jane B., Dan Y., Deb and Bob G., and Linda and Paul McH.
Eight members of the Gang got together for the first ride of the season. It was predicted to be a very hot day and the predictions were correct! Undaunted, we gathered in the shade wearing our masks and practicing social distancing before heading off. We started the ride early and the trail was shaded for the most part. There was also a nice breeze that helped keep us comfortable. One particular portion of the trail actually seemed to be air conditioned. As we rode through an area of the trail with high rock walls on both sides the air was very cool and we all commented that we should just ride back and forth through that area! After stopping for a break at the seven mile mark, we decided that was far enough and turned around. Returning to the starting point we again donned our masks and talked about heading off to much cooler places as we were able to get the 14 mile ride completed before the hottest time of day.
