[DVBC] Olde Brandywine Fifty Ride Report

[Debbie Chaga]

Well, we started with thirteen riders--Mike M, Dan, Tom, Buckeye, Nancy,
Manny, Dave H., Len D, Jim I, JoAnn, Dom, Mary and little ole me.  It seemed
like old times at the start of the ride when the principal of Chadds Ford
Elementary asked us to move to the lower parking since they were having an
art show.  Geez, I'm still getting yelled at by the principal and I've been
out of school how long? : )   Buckeye and Nancy dropped off not far out so
we were down to 11.  The weather was cold and windy and we were thankful for
the sun.  The wind made it tough even going downhill!  Just past Loch Narin
Country Club, a rider dropped by the West Chester Club asked if he could
join us.  He was from Pottstown, had no cue sheet or cell phone and had no
idea how to get back to West Chester.  We told him sure join in so we were
back up to twelve.  However, he found his group again after a couple miles.
Hopefully he didn't get dropped again, he could still be out there.  At the
food stop at 41 & 841, Dom called Buckeye.  He and Nancy were at Ruby's
eating breakfast.  Nice.  We had to make a detour instead of climbing up
Powell Rd onto Brandywine and that worked out well.  This route is one of my
favorite rides and today's ride was great but I must say I was glad to be
off the bike.  My legs were sore for some reason by the end of the ride.  Oh
yeah, Jim's birthday is Thursday--Happy Birthday Jim.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
