OWLS do Bruster's

After a nice sunny day, a group of 10 OWLS riders gathered for a final scheduled ride of the season, just as the predicted clouds were coming in. After a bit of discussion about the wisdom of riding on an evening like this, we all set out on our short, only slightly round-about, jaunt to Bruster's for ice cream. So it was over to Snoddy, down Moore's Creek, up Swartz Ridge, and straight up 446 to Bruster's. It was nice that we had perhaps the warmest day of the week for our end-of-season social. Bye and bye it was time to head home. Only then did it start to sprinkle. We all got home only slightly damp. I had over 13 miles, with on OWLish average of 13.6 mph, which probably didn't justify a waffle cone of pumpkin ice cream.

Note to OWLS riders: Gather as desired at 5:30 (note change of time!) on Tuesdays and Thursdays for short informal rides with no designated route or leader.
