Fort Braden Ride – January 20, 2024

Temperature predicted to be maybe 40 by noon and 10-12 mphwinds – who in the world would ride in that weather??? Turns out –lots of us!! We had a total of 12 riders: Sharon on Beau; Nancy S. onRebel; Wendy on Eli; Donna on Doc; Beth on Whiskey; Alice onMaisy; Lena on Scooter; Joyce on Blue; Don on Magnum; Sandy onPearl; Linda on Blondie and Chris on Farley. What a great turnout!!A big welcome to 2 new members, Don and Beth. We rode for 3hours in 3 separate groups, slow, fast and medium speeds. Only 2calamities: a breast strap broke; and Linda was riding along andnoticed something different – she had lost a stirrup. So other thanthat, we had a perfect day and a few of us stayed afterward sitting inthe sun catching up. If you didn’t make it, you missed a great ride!Sharon
