[DVBC] Firecracker Fifty-Five Ride Report

[Chaga, Debra]

The July 4th ride from Aston to Northbrook went on as scheduled since
fortunately the rain stopped just before the ride.  We dealt with some
wet roads but it wasn't bad at all and we never had rain on the ride.  A
total of 12--Doug, Nancy, Jim Irwin, Alex, Maureen, Mike Toofe, Dom, Jo
Ann, Bob Thomas, Brian, and I--had a great ride out to Northbrook.
Nancy had a flat due to a nasty hole in her tire caused by a pair of
glasses on the road.  Mike Toofe did fantastic even though this ride was
30 miles longer than any he's done so far this year.  Northbrook was
closed and although we couldn't eat their goodies, we were able to take
a rest and head back home.  We were surprised when we turned onto
Country Club Rd and immediately became part of a parade so we just rode
along with the kids on their decorated bikes.  One little guy was upset
that "even that old lady is passing me" when Jo Ann rode past him.
 
Afterwards we had lots of goodies at my place and hung out, ate and
drank.  Misty, Steve, and Nancy Thomas joined us for the picnic.  Juror
#6 definitely missed out on some great food!  Aston's fireworks were
cancelled until the 8th, but that was okay.  It was a good way to spend
the 4th.
