Trip Report

What a difference between the ride this year vs last year at the same time! 2026- the temperature at the start was 43 degrees with a 6 mph cold wind. Only three riders rode e-bikes. We didn\'t linger very long at the Long Tom Grange. 2025 - the temperature at the start was in the low 60\'s; we socialized at the grange for about half an hour, enjoying the balmy weather. Everyone except two riders rode e-bikes! The same both years: we admired several hundred thousand daffodils and narcissus, patches of irises, tulips, and some forsythia.
