| The chance of a little rain kept most Friday riders
away from Mirabel Park and Ride this morning. Richard Winegarner and
La Valle Linn were the only two to arrive; there havent been
so few riders since the Christmas season.
The two of us had little difficulty on agreeing to ride over towards
Willowside and Hall Roads where we hoped to meet the Friendly Friday
group on its way to Graton. Not seeing anyone, we headed to Graton
(it hadnt rained yet, although the roads were damp) via the
bike path off of Occidental Road. As we were finishing our coffee
and tea, the Friendly Friday riders arrived at Willowside Market.
Chris Cleaveland was quite proud of her group of eight no
weather wimps amongst Gary and Linda Grayson, Roger and Sandy Karraker,
Ed Ellington, Phil Grinton, and Bob MacDonald. After a short chit
chat, Richard and La Valle left and returned to Mirabel via Green
Valley, 116 and Martinelli. A very nice ride with no rain, although
the mud along 116 between Green Valley and Martinelli was enough
to leave the bicycles looking like their mountain bike cousins.
Chris and her group split up after leaving Graton with some heading
straight back and others doing Laguna and Vine Hill. Great rides
for all of us!
Next Friday Healdsburg for both groups.
Fifth Friday Sonoma (more details next week) for both groups
