Cool Fall like temps this morning. I wore arm warmers but was second guessing about wearing knickers and full finger gloves. It was 55 degrees at start and 82 degrees at the end.
A nice turnout of Riders from different clubs in the DMV.
This was the nineth annual Ride for Natasha, my second in attending.
This year we were riding back to Annapolis MD in a show of support. Natasha was a cyclist who died when hit by a motorist in Prince George’s County MD.
Riders rode in unison to Annapolis and returning from Annapolis. Natasha’s mother was in attendance as she is every year.
After the return and while stowing away our gear, a motorist approached and said “you all looked about my age and you ride bicycles”. He inquired about bicycle clubs in the area and where he could purchase a bike. Several of us gave him information on clubs and where he could purchase a bike.
He is fifty two years old. I told him that I started at his age.
You never know how just being out there may change someone’s life.
