I met 6 CRW riders coming on two (actually 3) different ferries in Oak Bluffs. One who had not registered and one rider was missing from the group. We started out around East Chop and headed over the drawbridge toward Vineyard Haven, where we found our missing rider (Frank). He had missed the 9:30 boat to Oak Bluffs and took the 9:50 boat to VH. It was a lucky meetup. From Vineyard Haven we headed up-island toward Menemsha, but we veered off because the little bike ferry had ceased weekday operation for the season. Then heading back to the east we enjoyed the ups and downs of Middle Road and through the West Tisbury village center. We then picked up the state forest bike path with multiple dips as we crossed the glacial "bottoms", which are channels carved by meltwater runoff from the glaciers of 20,000 years ago. (Martha's Vineyard did not become an island until several thousand years later as glaciers further north melted and the sea level rose more than 300 feet.) Anyway we continued east toward Edgartown and were treated to the spectacle of a series of single engine planes flying over our heads and landing on the grass runway at the Katana Airfield. We lunched at the Seafood Shanty in Edgartown on lobster rolls and fish sandwiches. Checking our watches we decided that we could perhaps be back in Oak Bluffs in time for 3:45 ferry departures. So we hustled back and did succeed in getting everyone on their respeciive boats back to the mainland. Notes: If you are going to do a ride, especially one with unfamiliar elements, please read (and keep handy) the announcement email. Frank would have understood how the ferry ticketing worked and saved himself a bit of woe. Also the ride leader's phone number is part of the announcement. (He fruitlessly emailed me with his ferry problem, But ride leaders can't check emails while leading.) Another thing; please register for rides you attend. I contacted the registrants with the updated route. The non-registered rider didn't get that. (In this case no harm done.) Everyone thought the ride was much fun and the heat was manageable owing to shaded road and bike ways.
