Cool, clear and calm morning lead to partly cloudy skies with variable West winds on return. Large, fast moving (17.2 mph average) group that worked well in double paceline. Twelve to start (Wally, Frank, Ralph, Paul, Susan, Tim, Stefan, Mark, Chris, Matt and Rob). Matt turned back after first Hampshire rest stop. Generally good roads en route, with a couple of rough patches through the park/neighborhood before Marengo, as well as in town. Great food and quick service at Marengo Café (which was overflowing with people). Best portions were Maple Street (both ways), Coral and Harmony Hills. Great day, fast pace and everyone worked well together. Wally provided much appreciated ice-cold, adult refreshment beverages at end.
