This was a Springbike Club sponsored ride this past Saturday. We had a choice of two ride distances, 100 or 50 both metric. Only 8 of us showed up and 6 decided to do the shorter distance leaving 2 of us to ride the longer one and spend more time in the rain. Tony (my riding partner for the day) and I started out and made about 24 kilometers when the heavens opened up for the first time. We stopped at a convenience store and had some hot chocolate. Tony discovered that his bike computer was out of battery life so the store clerk charged it for us. It was raining hard enough so we didn’t mind losing an hour and a half waiting for his computer to charge. We needed it because he had the route stored on it. After we finished our drinks and there was some charge on the computer we started out again. Most of the route was flat but we found some hills about 45 kilometers in with some good inclines. We also saw some beautiful farmland and some farm houses.

3 rides down and 17 to go.

Thanks for perusing,
