I parked in Madison next behind Village Hall and rode to the Paradise Bay for the 35 mile route and then back. 40 extra miles. 14.7 mph to, 15.2 mph during, and 15.0 mph back -- the wind from the west made it tough on the way back! As Tom says, "A character builder!" Check out the flag - straight out! That's an estimate of 20 mph!
The trail at Station Street and has been completed since I last rode the Western Reserve Trail.
Gorgeous day! Want more of these! Twenty riders on my "C" pace crew - a few were "Bs." BIG crew. We stayed pretty much together until we left Jefferson (the last 1/3 of the route) and rolled down the hill on Rt. 307. 8 riders broke away from the peloton. Group photo was after the break-away, so Todd, Gene, Brett (Gene's son), Omer, Mark, et al are not in the photos.
The black bean burger at Paradise Bay was really good! Held together well and was not mushy or dry. The meal also had pretzels and 16 oz sprite. 58 members had meals. 67 members registered for the ride.
You can see the Godfather in a several photos.
