One of the club members posted that he wanted to do a slow 12 mile ride starting at a spot out in the boonies today after work. A new rider replied that she wanted to join in. It was an 11 mile ride from my house to his starting point, so the full ride was 34 miles for me. Their pace was not fast by any means, but not so slow as to be annoying. It was a very pleasant day with temps in the mid 60s dropping to the upper 50s by the time I got home just as the sun was dropping below the trees. There was plenty of wildlife along the road today. We saw a big group of about 20 wild turkeys in a clearing beside the road. A large owl flew across the road just ahead of me on the way home and I saw about a dozen deer leaving a clearing and going into the woods.
