 Five of us
biked 38 miles,
starting and ending
at the
Vanilla Bean Cafe
in Pomfret, Conn.
The route
is a club favorite.
It was pretty warm.
We just missed
the July Fourth parade
in Canterbury.
We took a break at the Prudence Crandall Museum, a National Historic Landmark.
Lynne's cooldown.
The cafe
was closed,
but
Marty had
refresh-
ments.





Don and Dana, ready to roll
Marty, the leader.
Note the price of gasoline. Luckily, a bicycle gets the equivalent of 3,000 miles per gallon.*

*Converting food calories to fossil fuel energy, according to Bill Strickland,
 former executive editor of Bicycling magazine,
as quoted in the book "The Quotable Cyclist."

Over the last hill, but still wearing her game face.
