Eleven cyclists came out for the club's first ride in
May, an all-class ride from Oak Ridge Park. The weather was cooler and
much windier than the forecast. Jackie and Randy wanted a head start
into the wind, so they had gone by the time we posed for a group picture;
and Lucy got there too late for the picture. In the group picture are Ken,
Nick, Bernie, Tom, Ron, Jan, Jim, and Jane. We used the map and cue sheet
from the Oak Ridge Odyssey half-century.
The AA riders, Jan, Tom, Ken, and Bernie, rode the fifty miles, and the
others planned to ride a shorter version with a shortcut making it about
forty miles. The B riders (Jim, Jane, and Lucy) missed their turn onto
Cooksey Road and were later met by the AA riders coming up Penns Hill Road.
We stopped at Art's house to top off our water bottles and enjoy the view
from behind his house. Art wasn't at home, but we helped ourselves. (Thanks,
Art.) |
