The Privileges of the Bicyclist

As the season winds down our Tuesday-Thursday training rides are getting shorter. The Original OWLS group did a little over 20 miles, doing a variation of the standard BBC Fluck Mill Ride, adapted to start and end at our church parking lot starting site.

We had 9 people out for a nice ride. (Well, 10. But one rider got there early and went out into the neighborhoods nearby and didn't get back in time. We do start on time!)

We were a little worried because our route had us going and coming through the intersection of Harrell and Rohrer, which supposedly was blocked to through traffic until Thursday. We initially planned to alter our route. But  one rider had passed through and said a bicyclist can get through.

So that's what we did! We carefully walked our bikes under or around the yellow tape that extended well into neighboring property and were on our way.

We were a bit worried about running into showers. But none caught us. And we got back to the start at least 20 minutes before official sunset.
