Riding with Cyclopaths

On Thursday April 10 I decided to join a local cycling group, the Georgetown Cyclopaths, for one of their evening rides. I really love that name!

There were eight of us that met at Berry Springs Park and Preserve and headed out. One of the riders had an idea for a route, so we took the lead from him. We ended up getting in about 24 miles before finishing back at the start. This was a nice rural ride, going in a loop to the east, then north, west to Walburg, and back to Georgetown. I recorded the ride with my Garmin Forerunner 305 and uploaded it a couple of places:

Another interesting feature, at least to me, was the amount of poultry I heard while we were riding, since we have 13 chickens ourselves. I'm pretty sure I heard chickens, and I saw a sign about a guinea fowl crossing or something like that. I need to take Karen out there, since she's the person in our family who's really into poultry.

I enjoyed the ride, and will join the Cyclopaths again when I can.
