thoughtful planning

 

Whether because so many are signed up for the NYC ride tomorrow, or because of the heavy winds today, there weren't many takers for Dave H's Saturday Cranbury ride.

And new-to-me, both Toby, above, and Tom, below.


But Dave had a route planned that would send us into the wind on the way out, in hopes that we could more-or-less coast back. We rolled north and west through South Brunswick to the canal, where we made a quick stop at the Blackwells Mills/Six Mile lot.



While we were there, The Excellent Wife (TEW) drive in for her own solo ride. Dave asked if she wanted to roll up to the Millstone Deli with us, and she might have taken him up on it, but I suspect she didn't want to be seen with riff-raff like me.

But while we were at the deli...



...who should ride up?


After she went on her way, we went down to Kingston, and across a closed, unnamed road...


... that turned out to be a back entrance to Sayre Drive, that crosses under Route 1. And then, mostly with the wind at our backs, we avoided the worst part of Plainsboro road and got back to Cranbury. 

A good ride. We mostly stayed together (unusual for the Cranbury B ride; I'm NOT sorry there were so few attendees for this one). See the ride page here.
