Gorgeous ride today almost 60 km at 65 F. With T-bone, phoned others, but no soap.
Juan did call back with regrets; one of his children was ready to go play a baseball game.
So we swept past the Starbucks; no one there. On we went through the residential area, down to the trail, through the woods, down down the hill and out onto Balltown next to the bridge. Scary, sometimes.
We snaked through Alplaus, then on Bruce to Hecheltown. Standard up to this . . . when we do the R then L, to go north on Stage (including the L then R onto Stage, which T-bone missed, first try)
but no big deal. We tool along through Charlton, going west through town, outside of town, past the finer homes on the way to 147. We follow the inverse of the route used for the century rides; going R then L onto the road headed for the W Glenville corner.
We headed south once there, keeping an eye on the clock. We went along until Ridge Rd. offered a rolling hilly ride nothing boring like more or less flat 147. We start huffing it up the Ridge hill, curvey and wild when we take it the opposite direction. Hard to appreciate it at that moment. More up hill trekking. Then it evens out. We finally crest the hill, and crank it up to 30 mph, with no effort, all the way to Closson. We turn it down and go straight, keeping to the Ridge for the wild ride down to the Stewart's Shops.
Right back onto 147 through Beukendahl, left onto the Vly Rd., R onto Vly itself. We return the way we came except the bit going up Seneca through the residences of the Ave B neighborhood and all that.
