Cool, sunny and hazy morning start for 14 riders to cover a metric through two counties. Rode with Lee, Shaun, Wally, Kirsten, Rick S, MC, Tim F, John G, Jeff L, Angie, Bill S and two newbies, Laura W and David P. Traditional loop from KHMS to Oswego, then near western Plainfield to Yorkville, Plano and then back to start. East winds were relatively light, though increased a bit as the day went on. Everyone worked very well together on the outbound loop, accordioned a bit on the sections to Yorkville and Plano and then pretty much separated on the last leg back. I dropped to a couple of folks to help them finish. Favorite segments were on Cherry, Reservation and Van Emmons roads, with honorable mentions onto Eldamain and Miller. Great to ride with many friends (couple I had not seen for a while) as well as a couple of new ones.
