The Tuesday ride with Carver took us out to Sugarloaf, NY. One wrong turn added an extra 4 miles of scenic upstate NY scenery. The weather was in the high 70s with a bit of a breeze. In short, picture perfect spring weather for biking.
We rolled out of Mountain View for a quick stop at the Dunkin Donuts. Julie went ahead and engaged in some ominous conversation with a talkative traveler. We caught up with them and received a bit of caution about biking the roads of West Milford. The traveler went on to discuss the perils of road biking, all of which we are all too familiar with. His warnings, however, could not put a damper on the day.
On our previous ride, Fred had gotten a flat and while changing the tire, lost a wing nut leaving his bike incapacitated. We reluctantly left him on the side of the road as we headed back to our car to pick him up. During this time, Fred managed to locate a samaritan who lent him a hand and located a nut that would work temporarily. No such calamaties occurred on this ride.
