Hassur
We expected about seven guys on this ride – thirteen showed
up. We were hoping for decent weather – it turned out to be a beautiful day with temps that varied from the
low 50’s at the beginning of the ride to the low 60’s toward the end of the
ride. We wanted the ride to be flexible;
because some of the guys had time constraints – Les and Dwaine had it designed
so that five of the guys could peel off early and still get in a beautiful 35
mile or so ride (the main ride was around 60 miles long with about 4,000 feet
of climbing). I could go on…
Kudos to Les and Dwaine for organizing such an enjoyable
and scenic ride for us. I don’t see how
it could have gone better.
Here are some photos from the ride as well as a video of the ride:
