Weekend Recap

Saturday Nova and I went for a rural ride on what I call the 2 Bridges Loop. It’s approximately a 26 mile ride, nearly all gravel and crosses the Ninnescah river 2 times. It was miserably humid.

Sunday was the Bluz Cruz, our monthly old bikes ride. This month I was hosting. It was raining. Nova and I were secretly hoping no one would show but 2 others braved the rain and came out. The starting point I chose gave us a couple of route options. I chose the route that runs under the highway so we would be somewhat protected from the rain. Once we reached the end of the sheltered portion of the path it was just sprinkling so we decided to push our luck and ride farther. Shortly after the rain really started to come down. We got soaked but it was still an enjoyable ride. Along the way we made a brief stop at the memorial of the 1965 crash site of a KC-135 tanker that took the lives of all seven crew members, twenty-three people on the ground and destroyed several homes.
