Yes, I was there! What a blast! Very fun. I had no real clue where or how far I was going, so I kept asking people stuff, like, "Is this the Shack?"
One guy complimented my "hybrid," which was funny. Another guy said, "Nice bar-ends!"
I didn't make it to the village. I started out a half-hour later than I meant to, and was about two miles from the village when I hit the time that I had set for myself to turn back. Glad I did, because it was enough to do the three or four climbs on the way back down. This was a much longer ride than I've done in a while. Some day I'll do the whole thing, maybe even on a road bike.
I started from the high school, leaving at 7:30. Was back to the car before11:30, so a little under four hours all told.
I'm sure you passed me at some point, JimmyNH. Oh, wait … I remember a guy in a Deutschland jersey calling out to a Jimmy after he passed us, come to think of it. Huh. Next time I'll put a "BF" tag on my butt.
