It was a cool morning, in the low 40's, and some people were asking why we are leaving on rides so early in the morning so early in the spring. Most--but not all--were wearing jackets and tights. In fact it was pretty nice, though.
Ten of us, including our intrepid leader, Jennifer Miers, did the standard 30 mile loop on the club map, out Vernal Pike to Whitehall, then to Hendricksville, back in on Gardner Road to Kirby to Bunger, etc., by the airport and then in on That Road. The slowest rider (not naming names) averaged 14.2 mph home to home. It was good to see Joe Anderson after a long absence. The Andersons arrived back in town Friday from their winter travels, and he only decided at the very last second to come on the ride.
Altogether it was a pleasant and uneventful ride. Considering that the weather forecast is pretty lousy for the next few days, it was a good time to be out.
Another 10 or so headed out from Rosie's in Hendricksville on a longer option and were never seen again.

I sure hope the "never seen again" part of the story has a happy ending. The smart money is on Mike Finger being part of that group of 10, and the BBC needs him! ;-)
