16 cyclists total. 14 cyclists rode 43.5 mile route with 3900+ feet of climbing for four of the riders. Two cyclists rode the 64 mile route. Our slower group of five stayed together for most of the ride.

Temps stayed in the 30’s the entire day with overcast skies. Some headwind during the ride. There were lots of farm animals enjoying the day and we some dogs jump in the road. We saw a FREE KITTENS sign but passed on the offer even though we were tempted. Repaired one broken chain.
