The ride for October 24, 2014
RRU to My Chosen Cafe.
Organized by James Jeffery, we had 10 eager riders, many also rode from Foi Epi to RRU, thereby doubling up their "air miles". The conditions were "wet fall", no rain, some mud on the trails, lots of wet leaves. A bit dark, cool and overcast. However the mood was positive as always and we cycled at a goodly clip to get our fill of the awesome cinnamon buns and coffee at MC Cafe. On the way back Rusty had a flat (first one in 3 yrs. for him). Murphy's law, he found the shop had sold him a spare tube with schrader valve but he needed a presto. Anyway we got a patch on it and got going. Stopped for air at the nearby bike shop on the Goose near the Luxton Fairgrounds. The sun did peak out a bit in the early afternoon. It was a longer than normal ride, this reporter got home about 1:30, a bit exhausted from the est. 55 - 60 km. trek.
