Tuesday August 9th

Fran,Olga,Nancy,Chris,JoeT,Dave,and myself for this ride.Duke was at the parking lot,but received a phone call and left,come back Duke we miss you.Went out of Lumberton and did 10miles on the east side of 541 with a break at SJ Regional Airport.Over to Kirby'sMill(tried to relate the mill to Derwin Kirby but this group is wise to me),down ChurchRd,across ChairvilleRd.,then down Hawkins.A lot of breakaways,miles adding up,and a fast pace.This caught up with a rider at 206 and we stopped the ride there.Dave called his wife,Judith,and she gave an auto ride back to Lumberton to the downed rider.We all thank Dave and Judith for their aid and kindness.The rest of us returned to Lumberton with 32.95 miles.The strickened rider is fine,played golf on Wed.and walked a good distance on Thursday.
