Mt. Greylock Ride
It was a good day for a ride and we certainly had a great one today. We met at Bikeworx for an 8:30 AM departure. Chuck Jensen joined us for his first ride with the chapter. And dropping in at the last moment was former member, Doug Holmes. The weather could not have been more perfect. We had 15 people on 12 bikes. The trip out to North Adams was fabulous. Munds lead us on a super ride that we all totally enjoyed. The hairpin turns were awesome. Wish there were more of them. Spent some quality time on Mt. Greylock, took in the views, then mounted up and headed back down the mountain. More hairpin turns. Can’t get enough of those hairpin turns! Gassed up for the return trip, then Munds headed us over to the Moonlight Diner for lunch. Doug took the lead for the ride back on Rte 116. Lots of curves, lots of fun. Got to Ware (where?) and stopped at an ice-cream place that was tucked back off the road. By this time, we were all getting pretty weary – and saddle sore! Said our goodbyes at that point. Left as a group and one by one peeled off to head for our own homes.
It was a very long day. It was a very long ride. It was also a very, very enjoyable time spent with a great circle of friends!
