I'm betting my speed is down.
How 'bout ya'll?

I've only ridden two road rides since Oct. 3rd, so I'm sure my pace since the height of the season has already backed off, too. Don't worry, you may be leading the pack much of the way!

I am planning on riding tomorrow the shorter route since I havent rode in a while. I will plan to be there a little earlier to make sure I find Saltbox Village OK. I will check the post in the morning before heading out around 8:30 just to make sure nothing changes. I am looking forward to meeting you all!

What is that bright light was it sunshine on a Saturday - YES - had a great ride - beautiful weather, low traffic, lots of cyclist at least for the Fall and we had fun. Met one new cyclist - welcome to Slow Spokes Peggy. I felt good and had a good ride. Could not ride Sunday do to family conflict but I bet it was just as nice if not better. My GPS average speed is messed up - I had turned off auto-pause so it did not pause at the rest stop - the cycling computer had 16.8 mph as my average.
