Another quality ride under our belts. This ride had two of our favorite things: lots of smooth roads and not much traffic. There were exceptions, but the vast distances of thoroughly enjoyable stretches far outweighed those exceptions.

It was a well-supported ride with stops about every 20 miles for a total of 5 stops. Good food selection. Oh, and the pavement markings were the best yet. I didn't ever actually need my cue sheet. I guess if I were picky I would say the cue sheet, based on MapMyRide.com, was nearly impossible to read due to the extremely small font. But of course I'm not picky so I won't say that.

We were told there would be watermelon at the end of the ride, but the big thing driving us forward was the chicken and dumplings waiting for us at Paul & Kay's upon our return.

Oh, the big downer was a flat tire only 2 miles from the finish. Bummer! Though after further reflection I think I would rather have a flat at the end versus at the beginning.

If you look at the map of 2010 Rides you will notice this ride overlapped for about 10 or 20 miles worth with the Lewis County Historical Ride we did in May.

We will definitely be doing this ride again, or perhaps portions of it on our own, particularly if we want a nice long and generally flat ride.
