First Ride of the 2010 Season

Second ride of the 2010 season took place last week. It was a quick one east on River Road, the Rail Trail being under ice and snow, portions thereof, so there was no point trying to icebreak through. MeV, TiMan, and I met around noon at the main gate and whipped around the traffic circle, then east. Parts of the road were a little wet, but the sun and wind had dried most of the road. There were a few bad spots from recent work near Ferry Road, where some maintenance work is on-going, and a few spots had suffered through the winter. It's never been real smooth past the turn-off onto Vly Rd. and it's no better today.

It was cool, but no uncomfortable. We've been out in worse, far worse.

First ride, the record so reflects, was over the weekend prior to this by Bianchi-wielding man from Nottingham Woods on his hybrid, for crying out loud. It was that bad.
