Wow! What a ride! Fun, hard and educational! I'm going to redo my seat pack now, starting with tubes. Thank you Cary for setting this up and for staying back with me over my tire, and John???? for donating a tube....

Big thanks to all that came and rode and had a great meal and lots of fun. Mike, I still can't believe I rode by the farm pond without stopping to swim, my loss. We got lucky on the rain on the way back since it was moving about 20 minutes ahead of us.
I'll plan to lead this ride and eat again in the future and next time we might just start from the farm pond to make it easier to include the swimming.
See you on thd road- Cary

I add my thanks to everyone else's Cary. Great ride and the swimming hole was a perfect end. I already took my bike to REI for repairs. I am good to go now. The derailer mount was bent. I have no idea how that happened.
