 RIDE REPORT

Wednesday, 5 July 2023, Ward's Berry Farm ride

Ride Leader:  Ellen Dirgins

34.8 miles, 10:00 am start from Sharon, MA

Riders (19):  Ellen, Aviram Cohen, Barry Kaditz, Barry Nelson, Dave Balaban, David Goldberg, Frank Aronson, Frank Calabrese, Gary Braver, Gary Williams, Gene Ho, Gerry Sheetoo, John Ho, John Kitchen, Linda Nelson, Sue Amsel, Wing Chow, and first-timers Janusz Wicher and Karina Illescas.

The WW ride was a success!  Even though we had a flat, thanks to Gene and others we were soon on our way again.  It was definitely a hot and humid ride - I personally was thankful for the shady parts along the roads.  We made a couple of stops along the way to make sure everyone was well-hydrated.

We cycled past Lake Massapoag in Sharon, traveled by farms in Easton, and rode on a short bike path in Mansfield.  Back in Sharon, we stopped for lunch at Ward’s Berry Farm, located about two miles from the finish line.

Thanks to all who participated, to the riders who arrowed, and especially to Gene for sweeping.
