[DVBC] ride report

[Ira Josephs]

2/9 CU at Selene ride report. 
Well I don't think anyone of the Aston Hill Climbers showed up, shame on yous! But I did have 8 riders on 7 bikes. My first tandem ride in years with friend, Lois, regular CU rider John S., sometimes CU riders, Steve F. and Tom S., new rider Ben K. who is a Co-op member, and 13 year old Maria on a (uh) well used heavy mountain bike and her 17 yo brother Aaron from Prospect Park, who found out about it from my Town Talk press release. 
So we had some pretty varying abilities but everyone stayed together for the first half. Going back I encourage Ben, Steve and Tom to take off, especially because we were experiencing some precipitation. Never saw them again. It was kind of slow going especially with walking some of the big climbs on the way back, but I think everyone had a pretty positive experience.
The ride was 26 miles but I got about 33. Since we're thinking about the ride wrap ups, do I only count those as 16.5 miles since the effort was shared with my stoker? (Sorry, but I can just never figure out these finer points!)
Anyone for a ride tomorrow?
