2 cyclists. 24 miles. 2300 ft climbing. Some muddiness at the start. A couple of spills along the way. The stream crossing and puddle slowed Vince down. James Rd, with the ponds, is now crushed gravel and the beaver dam is back. We saw a few dogs and a number of guinea hens hanging out. Lots of leaves down on route, so we took it easy. Cut the route short at the end. Some sleet in the woods, otherwise cloudy and cold in the low 30's.
