Met up with Woodcore, o3jeff, mlegg, and two random guys who showed up to tag along on our ride at around 9am this morning for a ride starting at the soccer fields. We rode pretty much the standard route from the soccer fields, then hit some new stuff over towards stone,, over to the top of the fat kid, down the fat kid, up high road, woodcore's trail. Unfortunately on woodcore's trail he picked up a stick or something and snapped his derailleur hanger, since he had just snapped one this past Thursday he didn't have a new spare yet. We did our best to set his bike up as a single speed. Which seemed to work out okay, but did result in some dropped chains and walking for woodcore. We ended with heading up the kitchen bypass to the swamp trail and back out on the blue to the soccer field lot.

I guess it ended up being about 10.3 miles?? The weather was really nice the whole ride, and I didn't even notice much in the way of bugs, all in all a very nice day. It's too bad that woodcore had the troubles, but in reality is just made have to travel at more human pace, instead of the superhuman pace he usually rides at. ;)
