Trip Report

This bike trip had been rescheduled due to heavy rain the previous weekend. We lucked out on the second attempt with 65 degrees and a sunny sky! The 19.4 mile loop is mostly flat with just one short, but steep hill. Hundreds of thousands of bright yellow daffodils along the route, many of which were planted years ago by the members of the Long Tom Grange. Surprisingly, 6 of the 8 participants rode e-bikes.... we\'re getting older, although most of us (all of us??) did not have the power on the entire time. And the other two participants have e-bikes at home.
