There were only ten of us doing the 38 miler, most of whom had the route on their GPS’s. So, as leader, I could justify falling back, especially on the uphills, and I could count on our not getting lost, although some of us did occasionally overshoot a turn. The Sweep, who has eyes in the back of his head, was also able to ride in the middle of the pack – we switched roles from time to time. Nice rural route, nice suburban route, some unexpected hills, and some well paved downhills. No accidents, no mechanicals, just a good April Fool’s Day ride. Thanks to all the temporary ride leaders, the arrows, and to Rear View X-ray Vision Jack D. for sweeping in a truly idiosyncratic manner. BDP
Thank you to Butch for being a co-leader, to Jack and Dick for sweeping and to all the loyal arrows.
