Thanks everyone, it was a really fun ride to go on. The great thing is this was really just out my back door. The starting point was only a 10 minute drive from my house. What is interesting to me is that I did not even know where most of the covered bridges were before the ride.

I'm so glad you posted pictures!! My camera had a dead battery at the start Congratulations on your first metric+!! Do you have the distance bug now??? Too bad we missed you at the start. Next time right? What is your next goal?
If you want the pictures, shoot me a PM with your e-mail address and I would be glad to send you a set. As far as a goal, I want to do 2 or 3 full centuries next year. I'll most likely do the Strawberry as my first 100 miler and of course I'll do the Covered Bridge again next year. So, I hope to actually meet you guys next year. If I get the chance, I might try to squeeze in doing the Peach as a metric this year, but that is doubtful at this point. Fortunately, as you know we are blessed with a good selection of rides to go on in this area, so I will get to explore this distance bug thing that speak of.

Neil, I have alway enjoyed the pictures that you have posted, so I thought that I would do the same. I can't remember who, but they said that they liked seeing pictures from different rides, so I tried to accommodate them.
