WW Redux II - June 8, 2022

 RIDE REPORT

Wednesday, 8 June 2022, WW Redux II

Ride Leader:  Susan Sabin

~28 miles, 10:00 am start from Wellesley, MA

Riders (4):  Susan, Don Mannes, Elsa Lawrence, and Tom Lawrence.

The ride started in a very light drizzle, but as the skies cleared and the sun came out, the humidity disappeared and we had ourselves a gorgeous spring day.  With only four of us, we could stop and check to see that Elsa’s problematic tire was inflated, or not, and on our final check it was not.  Tom pumped, the tire blew, and we called AAA.

Then came the day’s adventure!  The phone call for help was itself very funny.  AAA:  ”What color is your bike?? “.  Really?! 

Finally, they said they would come in about half an hour, and would tow for free if the distance would be less than ten miles.  That info changed to $6 per mile(or $42), and finally to a fee of $4 total.

And, we waited an hour!  But, as I said, the day was gorgeous, we each had a comfortable rock on which to sit, and the breeze kept the bugs at bay. 

All in all, it was a lovely day for a bike ride and a looong rest in the woods.
