10 cyclists. 39 miles with 4100+ feet of climbing for four of the riders. Five of us rode an abridged version of 35.5 miles with 3300 ft of climbing. Temps stayed in the 30’s the entire day with overcast skies. Headwind dogged us for most of the second half of the ride. There were lots of farm animals enjoying the day and we didn’t see any dogs. A part of the group stopped for lunch at Trails End in Loudonville for the pizza buffet.

We rode a new 39 mile variation of Tim Cristy’s Mohican Area Gravel Grinder 46
