Friday August 12 "Weather Made For Cycling"

Beautiful day for a ride and ten of us took advantage of it.Arrived at Southampton to find Kathy,Eloise,and Carl.Fran pulled in before I had the engine shut down.ChrisA,Yoli,then JohnK,next came DaveN followed by Cindy.Some really good smiles even before we started to ride.Mirror Lake was our destination and the group used about 7 miles for warm-up before takeing advantage of breakaways.When I called a turn or an obstacle it sounded like a choir behind me,the pack mentality was in effect and the group was into it.A lot of chatter behind me which is always a sound of happiness,even got me involved when Kathy and Eloise came to the front and got me talking.The day was beautiful,the group was fantastic and I truly believe everyone enjoyed the ride.It's nice to see people return to ride and meet someone new like DaveN who rode with the group back in the day.Comments were made about how calm and pretty Mirror Lake appeared.Today was a positive,upbeat,pleasant ride and I thank you all for the experience.Clocked 32.50 miles in 3 hours and 9 minutes. Hope to see everyone again soon. Bill
