It really turned into a great day! Thank you David for organizing the event. The snow enhanced the scenery, see below. The sun was bright with temperatures in the 40s. The roads were about 50% dry for the first hour but nearly 100% dry after the convenient store stop.
The route does include two mild but significant hills, made more difficult by the headwind. My lowest gear on my Paramount was 42 & 24 so I had to make an effort, more than I recall from previous rides. My GPS unit totaled 1100 ft of climbing.
It it was nice to reacquaint myself with Robbie and the Chicago area C & V group. I’ll announce a Lake Geneva Vintage ride for summer ASAP.
