The Lone Woman

Feeling sloth-like after my serial eating experience while driving to Ohio, I joined the 8:30am group out of Milford Center for the 60 mile loop to the high point in Ohio and back.  It was good to see Larry P, Kenda Janet & Paul, Miek Wray, Woody, Jeff S and new guy Jeff J.  It was COLD, relatively speaking as we headed northeast with a favorable wind that would build and build and then suck on the return, into the wind.

Most of us hung together into Bellefontaine, the highest elevation point in Ohio.  An AZ friend was none too impressed after discovering that was only 1550' elevation.  I claimed we started our ride a couple thousand feet below sea level so it was more impressive then it seemed.  I have to apologize to the readers.  I got out of the habit of taking pics but will regain the expertise for the next ride.

We completed our ride with 58 miles and 2600' of elevation gain.  Meanwhile, Kenda Janet expressed surprise/disappointment that more of the other ladies that populate our rides did not come out for this one.  Thus she was the lone woman but it is generally agreed that her personality makes up for the loss of many.  Looking at the forecast for the Tuesday New Albany ride....hmmmm…..maybe I'll just put in a social appearance and slowly condition the group to my reappearance. Having me around for 3 hours would probably be too much at first.
