Today’s ride was planned to be 70 miles. Riders included Mike, Steve & Theresa, Jim and Kathy, Becky, Karl, Glenn, Amanda and me. From Highland Village, we took Old Justin instead of Crawford Ranch, and ended up 15 mins and 5 miles behind schedule. From Robson Ranch, we shimmied over to FM165 and took it down behind Alliance Airport, across to old-town Roanoke, with Lunch at Twisted Root.

Bikes Leaning on Bikes:
Glenn was cramping up, so he sagged back with 50 miles logged. The rest of us For the ride back, we took 377 instead of Dove/Grapevine for a faster return. Maladies for riders included a couple dropped chains, 1 slow tire leak, some leg cramps, and two people with lower GI issues. BUT, no one needed new shorts, and everyone survived.
ps, The weather was very nice. It did warm up, but we had lots of cool breeze throughout the morning.
It was a pretty good ride, even if Sharon wasn’t with us. (See photoshopped evidence below!)
