Ride Report

[peterebock]

All,

Old school! We had to use sign-in sheets this morning! As
substitute ride leader for the very capable and reliable Jim H.,
I got a call from former Prez Amy K. early this morning informing
me that the club website was down and wondering if I had any old
sign-in sheets. Being an old guy who likes to hang on to old stuff, I
told that I did and would be happy to dig them out. So…twelve
excellent bike riders who had already signed in on-line were asked
to do it again the old fashioned way. Old school!

The weather was very nice for the even dozen who assembled
downtown at the marina for the every other forty mile reverse tour
of Amelia Island. The temperature at ride start was around 50 and
climbed nicely throughout the morning. There was a light breeze from
the northeast but nothing too tough for our hardy group of Monday
morning marauders.

Downtown is beginning to look a little different…Atlantic Seafood
is no more, leveled! And Brett’s is next…change is hard for this
old, substitute ride leader and snow bird. The next thing you know
they will be putting in a park, putting in new, riverside developments
and charging folks to park! Is nothing sacred, they tore down Public’s
for criminy sakes! But I digress.

It was a great day to ride and folks seem to enjoy today’s trek. Everyone
made it to the Fort where we basked in the sun, shed a layer or two of
of clothes and compared notes about various surgeries we had had or
were contemplating. Folks took their time leaving the Fort with the sub
leader having to crack the whip with two two-minute warning calls. Once
rolling, people broke off into small subsets destined for different distances.
By the time we reached Burney Park for our second break we were down
to a fearsome foursome who lingered a little to look out at that big lake they
call the Atlantic Ocean. What a view! And then to home! Yes, another
beautiful ride around our little piece of paradise!

Peter,
Thanks for leading today. As our B group headed down S. Fletcher today we saw a lady cyclist stopped on the east side of the road. I stopped to check on her and she related that she had ridden her bike into the back of a stopped pest control truck. "I wasn't paying attention" she said. Two good Samaritans had stopped and were providing aid. The cyclist, a retired nurse, was OK but her bike had a broken left brake/front derailleur lever. We straightened the handlebars and saddle and remounted the chain. The cyclist then walked home to 1st Ave.

Please be careful out there.

Thanks everyone for the excellent Happy Birthday song this morning. Can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday than riding my bike.
