The Plan: /ridewithgps.com/trips/15808542
Started with Cecilia and her friend Amy. Part of a 20 person line, largely pulled by one lady from the end of Mill St to Carlisle Center and again on Barrett's Mill Road up Strawberry to West St and over the hill above Rt 27 . She was SO steady that she kept pretty much a single line behind her and everyone was pedaling. Occasionally someone else would take the lead and the line split up and broke down. In those cases, she took off the front and eventually the line reformed. I spoke to her on Pope Rd about her excellent pulling and she had no idea how superb it was. Sadly, I didn't get her name. But she bailed for some reason at the sharp left turn onto Maple St headed to Robin Hill road.
At that time I got picked up by Celia and Amy again along with Keeley - a very tall and super steady rider. Excellent climb of Page Hill. The 4 of us stayed together to the end. Sadly no pictures to help remind me of the new folks.
Then bike path back to Bedford and a CCW loop and some Lincoln riding for a century.
My Garmin was powered off out of the Great Brook Park stop for 1.3 miles. Mileage and time (6 min) adjusted.
Century in 6:39 riding time.
Phone quit at 90 miles. No clue why. It still had power.
