A Lost Saturday & Sunday's Ride

Geesh, looking at the Saturday morning weather radar, I abandoned plans to ride the Roll Rockmill ride.  I just could not believe that the narrow slot of clear air between rain to the north and south would be maintained but maintain it did and so the Rockmill ride was ridden without a drop of rain.  Mean time, I busied myself shampooing the carpets, putting dishes away, watching TV (the old Rifleman series is on AMC) and was so bored and so angry with myself when I saw that narrow slot was maintained.  Well, there is always tomorrow and so I hooked up with a group out of New Albany which included Dirty Dan and Flyin Tuna along with about 15 others.  Somewhere out old 161 the groups split, most going south on Watkins while our group continued on to Utica, then back to Granville and then....I split off to add more miles.  Pretty spirited pace and I finished with 80 miles and 3900' of climbing.
