Saturday, May 7th

The skies looked to be clearing and the roads were drying up nicely from the early morning rain, so I made my way down to Dunn Brothers South for the Saturday group ride.

We had 10 riders and the group decided to head toward Spring Valley for donuts.

We went out of town on cty 1, though Simpson, Fugel's Mill, Pleasant Grove, and on into Spring Valley. Cty 1 was a bit busy for a Saturady morning and the road is really starting to show it's age in spots, but we all made it to Spring Valley safely.

After a quick stop at the donut shop and a quick nature break at Kwik Trip, we headed west out of town on a nice rolling cty road. We had a nice tailwind on this section, so the pace stayed nice and high. We crossed over hwy 63 and continued west to cty 8. From there it was north (and with a stiff east crosswind) on cty 8 to High Forest.

Shortly after High Forest, the pace picked up and the group split. I was with the slower group (of course). But we kept a nice pace all the way back into town.

I split off at Bamber Valley School and headed west to home (into a stiff headwind).

I finished with 72 miles and very tired legs.

Continued dark throughout most of the evening,
