Mid-September Ride Time

After the hot, hot weather earlier in the week, we got a whole lot of cooling air in for the weekend. The beautiful September-blue sky, low humidity and dry conditions make it ideal for a ride in the park.

Even the notoriously wet, boggy places were dry. Bone dry, hard-packed and dusty. I opted to stay as much in the shade as possible, even though it was cooler. I wanted to enjoy the ride without KC sweating.

We started out after 10, making a direct shot into Woodstock. We were surprised that so few people were there, but it was officially Bike Week in Ocean City. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to discover newly installed hitching posts and mulch footing. A far cry from well-worn rails, gravel and broken glass.
