I rode my last organized ride of the season this morning. It was called the Ride for Reason, a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research (if you want to contribute to my effort, you can do so at http://act.alz.org/goto/jclausing). It was chilly at the start, but nowhere near as cold as the CHA ride last month. Temp 54-75°F, light wind from the ESE which meant headwind relatively early in the ride. I have to say, the folks at the Trek store didn’t do a very good job marking the roads for this one. If I hadn’t uploaded the route onto my GPS, I’m not sure I would have been able to find the route. I think I can count all the arrows I actually saw on the rode on 1 hand (certainly on both). They were purple and very difficult to see. Having said that, it was a great day for a ride and a relatively nice route. The distance was supposed to be 47 miles because the original ride 25 years ago was 4700 miles, I missed one turn (added less than 0.1) and ended up riding 47.93. See the details here or below.
