riders gathered at Hal and Gail West’s on Thursday, August 13th, for
what we think is our 12th or 13th annual Elm Creek Park ride &
picnic at our house. Each year brings a change and this year, of
course, it was adjusting to the COVID requirements. Our normal
backyard pot luck morphed into a bring-your-own-everything picnic with
diminished numbers, but – as always – we still had a great time!
The morning bike ride started around 10 am. The “A” group, led by Dale B tackled some of the more challenging hills in Elm Creek Park Preserve while the “B” group, led by Hal W, did everything they could to avoid those same hills! No one got lost, there were only a few scrapes and bumps, and everyone enjoyed their ride through beautiful, varied Elm Creek Park. Everyone eventually gathered in the shade of the backyard patio for a relaxed lunch before the need for afternoon naps eventually broke up the party. It was another very enjoyable day of riding and socializing. |
