Tuesday November 15th Ride Report

Surprised at the Shamong Municpal Building.
  No,the surprise wasn't that we made it to the comfort station before bladder explosion ensued (22 miles),but that our sorely missed leader,Bill Horan,greeted us as we rolled up.Mike was introduced while Jukka,Fran,Olga,and Chris chatted with Bill regaling him about the adventuresome ride that Jukka was leading.Will that Jackson Road EVER END??How about a spin around the Atco Speedway?The weather was warm (bike shorts)and some long tail winds. ..a fun 40.1 mile day.
  Thanks,Jukka
  Chris

  Take care,JohnV.We missed you.

Tuesday, Nov 8, from St. Peter's

It was a Beautiful day for a bike ride. Thank you Jukka for leading.
That was a first for me, a bike ride to Atsion.
Thank you Jukka and Fran for your help with the flats.
I picked up 3 new tubes plus tire levers (blue levers) at REI. They didn't have metal levers.
The bike puter says we did 37 with a 13.9 avg. 2 hrs, 40 min in the saddle, took 4 hours from start to finish.
A great group of folks, Jukka, Fran, Kathy, Chris, Olga, and Mike.
Chris was the photographer today. Thank you Chris.

Tuesday November 1st

What should we call today's ride?The All Saint's Day ride?Or,better yet,the Five Flying Finn Ride?I am happy to say that Iwas not alone trying to keep up with Jukka today.Kathy,Olga,and JohnV were welcome companions.43 degrees,a bit brisk as we pushed off,but a quick pace and interesting route warmed us up leading to our arrival at the Nixon rocking chairs with 30 miles on the odometer.It was great to see John,who hopefully got a picture or two.Bill,it's unanimous,we miss you and all our bike buddies.You know who you are.....9:30 next Tuesday.
