Okay I said it was cold Tuesday morning, right? Weeeeeell....it really wasn't that cold, because tonight's ride was REALLY cold! Temp was around 22 when we met at 6:15. Seven night riders flying through the woods...I'm sure if anyone saw us, the Swansea Police would have received calls reporting UFO sightings! Biggest problem most of us had was cold hands. Didn't warm up until 3/4 of the way through the ride...that's when the blood flow returned to our fingers, firing the pain signals. Yowch. It was a surprisingly clean ride with no major crashes (not by OMMB anyway). Out of the 7 riders I did see at least 4 hit the ground in various places. Matt lead a great ride, I'm guessing we did 8 to 10 miles.
Tidbits: This was Bob's birthday ride...but he couldn't make it. We rode in his honor anyway. Another tidbit...when you eat dinner before you ride, the raccoons, skunks, and opossums reap the benefits of your mid-ride chirp (yes it happened, wasn't me!).
Happy Trails,
OMMB
