Sunday’s ride was hot, but ten of us rode from Monocacy Middle School at 11:30 AM:  Paul Ericson, Allen Mitchell, Ian Hewitt, Mark Blau, Kathy Dollar, Victoria Arthaud, Brian Jones, Jeff Johnson, Patrick McKinney and myself.  We enjoyed 19 miles together, stopping  on Mountaindale Road at the store for refills of Gatorade and also stopping at our picture place near the watershed.

I brought both cue sheets to Saturday, August 17 ride.  As a group, we decided to do the original “Three Covered Ride” cue sheet, hoping with could get over Roddy Road Bridge.  It was a good decision, as Roddy Road Bridge was open.  We also decided to make our way into Thurmont after crossing the bridge to stop at the Sheetz for some cold Gatorade, as the day had become very hot.  After Sheetz we got back on the route, finishing with a 38 mile ride.  Those riding were:  Kathy Dollar, Paul Ericson, Cathy Flanagan, Andrew Flint, Judy Goffi, Lee Rabideau, Louanne Welgoss and myself.  We had a great time together! ~ Terry Eskuchen
