Chilly start for 23 folks (2 new to Tweeners). Headed to Little Elm with the winds out of the north. Had some folks hurting from the start so we tried to bring the pace down. Lost 4 somewhere before the second break point so Bill, David and I backtracked to try and find them. Discovered they had taken a short cut back and all were safe back at the start. After having trouble getting into the left lane last Sat., we hit all of ours early this time. Probably too early. Still working out the kinks on this route. Thanks to Walt, Derek and David for helping out up front and to Richard for taking the group back to the barn. Bill did a great job of keeping the stragglers within striking distance and probably had a great workout from all the yo-yoing. Enjoyed the socializing at Starbucks afterwards. Forgot to clear my computer from a previous workout so actual numbers are 44.78 miles, 3:50:47 elapsed, 1740 climb.
