OOWLS to the Airport

The OOWLS (that's the "original" OWLS) did a version of our 23 mile Airport Ride with a total of 16 riders. Before the new Intermediate Group started this week we were often having 25. But now that we are separate we've got even more between the two groups. It's definitely easer to manage two smaller groups.

We had full regroups at the Clear Creek Trail and at Monroe Hospital.

Eventually we split into two smaller groups when a big log truck passed some of us on Garrison Chapel Road. Occasionally our second group got just within sight of the lead group, but never caught back up.

I finished with 25.5 miles averaging 13.3 home-to-home. My GPS recorded 996 feet of climb, even though our route mapped predicted 1500.
