Mike rode 14 miles from downtown to join us. At mile 50 just outside of Newark he bonked. We exchanged numbers and Mike arranged for a pickup. He ate, drank, napped and caught up to us in Newark as we finished lunch. He ended with 108 miles.

Granville & Alexandria, one turtle (smashed) on Kitzmiller Road.


Comments

  1. An alternate route on Beaver Run Road was suggested but was rejected by Ray. He thought it sounded fishy.
