Trish led 3 ladies on the ride today - Bonnie, Debra and new rider, Andrea. Colorado's 5th season - construction - caused a delayed start but the crew headed out around 6:15. It was a slightly uphill battle with a sprinkling of traffic and a headwind that reminded us of spring riding but we all rolled in to the Res in less than an hour. Out there on the 'plains' we had quite the headwind to battle but the scenery was beautiful. As we neared the southwest corner of the res, the gals decided to take a 'shortcut'. While Trish knew the direction she wanted to go, it was the getting there that presented a problem. After hiking our bikes up a short gravel hill, we meandered through the neighborhoods and found our way back to Smoky Hill. With a nice downhill, we managed to make it back to our cars quickly and before sunset.
A nice 25 mile ride (it turned out to be a shortcut after all!) - best to be done on a weekend when there's bound to be less traffic! I hope!
Nice job, ladies!
