Apple Run

Linda did an awesome job. She designed a nice, indirect, route to the restaurant and then to the orchard with a more direct route home. I generally design rides this way myself. She plugged her route into her phone and followed the audio turn-by-turn directions given; something that I have not done. That method failed her when the nav system wanted her to turn left where there was no place to turn and started to send her in a big circle back to the same spot. When she she realized this, she pulled over and, rather than recalculating her route, she asked me to lead to the orchard, because she knew that I was more familiar with the area? We were only a few miles away from our destination. I also lead home, but that was because she knew there were a couple of roads she wanted to use for that leg, but couldn't recall their names or exactl locations. I would have done the same thing and have done so on numerous occasions.

On the road, she was stable, confident, and consistent. She signaled her lane changes and turns. She made sure we together at traffic signals. I'm not sure you can ask a ride leader to do much more than that.

I think she will lead other rides in the future and I'm looking forward to them if/when she does.

What in the name of goodness is "Adventure underwear"? I can only surmise that, when the adventure intensifies, it conceals the brown stains or perhaps entraps the odour. I would imagine very useful for those of us who occasionally enter turns too hot.

Cheers.

They also have "sport" and "cruiser" underwear--make your own assumptions on their purposes. lol
