I left my house in the morning around 6:20am and not more than 1/4 mile on my way and there are drops on my helmet. Was it raining? Nope, just a lot of condensation from all the humidity in the air. I spent the next half hour wiping my visor to see through the "drops". I rode up to the Starlite, got some gas, and then greeted those who came up for breakfast. It was cool to see some old regulars, like R/T, I-Jo & Mike, andyr, jlasure, frindle and Seven who came with a crew. It was also nice to meet some new faces, like Flash, Chris, Miguel, Rebekah & Jim. Thanks all for coming and hanging out with us at breakfast. After having a good meal with some good sharing and catching up with folk, we went out to ride. I led the riders meeting, assigned riders to the groups, 2 being at medium pace and 2 being slower. We had a bit over 20 riders, and with four groups it was 5-6 per group, a perfect fit. I want to thank jlasure, andyr, and seven for leading groups, you guys were awesome. We had no crashes and only one missed turn by part of one group. God is good!
We left the Starlite and went west to avoid the tar and chip on rt 863. We went up and over Hawk mountain and then went west only to find fresh tar and chip on our fourth road, boooo! Well, we took our time and we made it through with no incidence, although I upset because that was such a good road. After we found some dry, stone free pavement we took off and stopped only once for a picture. Lunch was at May's family restaurant in Berwick, they had tables set aside and the food was good. After lunch I had the guys line up in the only shade we had, it looked like a perp line up. Turn to the left! I then shared the Scriptures for this month, which Seven posted the video up in another thread in this forum. Thank you sir! Once I completed reading the Scriptures we combined two groups since some had to get home and couldn't ride in the afternoon. We rode for a while then took a detour to a cool overlook. We then rode off to our next road, on the way we saw lots of dark clouds, but we pressed on. Once the bolt of lighting flashed though, we turned around and headed another way. We met up at the gas station and had some laughs before I tore out of there to miss the coming rain. One rider even wore his tires down to the steel belts! We did get on a photo website, which was kind of cool. It was a fun ride and I hope to see you all again soon!
