I took the drive over, and did the ride. Folks did a great job of organizing, making sure we were hydrated, and nourished. Turns were well marked, but I did get confused a couple times as last years markings were still showing at points. They even had the SAG car collecting jackets, and such along the way as the day got warmer. Roads were smooth, and mostly rolling. There were a few sustained climbs along the way. I've been off the bike for a couple weeks, and it showed towards the end. Met a bunch of great folks along the way. I even ran into Bikeforums member Leinad at the ride start. I remembered him as the pancake maker from the
Lorain Wheelmens Red Flannel ride a couple of years back.
I hope to see this ride on the calendar next year. Garmin data below.
