Tuesday night CMC members met at the new A&W on GNR north of Second Line prior to their mid - week ride. EchoBay, MrsEchoBay, Buck, and Drifter were joined by our newest member, KarenM. Also joining the group for some pre - ride chat were Kranky (on his way to work) and Kee (on her way home from work).
After introduction all round, it was Drifter's choice to ride a Hwys 17 north, 556, 552, 17 south loop. Leading the way, Drifter set a pace that balanced the group's experienced riders with our newest member's first group riding experience. The route is one of Drifter's favourites with its numerous downhill twists and turns on 552 as it descends into the Belleview Valley.
The ride was an excellent opportunity for KarenM to enjoy a mix of highway riding and backroad cruising and a chance to ascend Mile Hill with its wind turbines like sentinels standing along the south ridge.
Returning to our A&W starting point, we stopped for a chow and chat session and by 9 pm we went our separate ways.
It was great having KarenM join us and also to have Buck riding with us again.
A reminder to everyone that there are only 7 more scheduled rides this season.
