[DVBC] Saturday AHCS Ride Report

[Dave Hartrum]

nICE ride today. It was a blast to get out even on a cold day like  
today.
The one good weather stat was that there was NO wind to speak of,  
that can make a big difference.
Bring on those hills !!!!

With a few ZIGs and ZAGs around Springfield I did get in 40 miles.
No problems just keep your eyes out for the ICE.
On a low lying back road I took near Swarthmore I did have to stop  
and dismount to get around an ice patch.

I am glad that I stayed around for the pancakes.
Made me feel much better for those last 10 miles to home.

Thanks for getting us all out for a ride today Deb !!!
