| Rest stop at the Chesterville Mall |
May is Bike Month, and with any luck it will bring
temperatures higher than 50 degrees, the last remnants of snow in the woods will
melt away (instead of pouring cold air down the hillsides onto unsuspecting
cyclists riding by), we can go out in short-sleeve jerseys and shorts - and it
can't come soon enough. Last Saturday's ride in Wayne was a lot dryer than
expected and we had our usual cadre of smiling velonauts, but warm? - it was
not. Perhaps May will remedy this. If nothing else, this Saturday we will have
a new route from Pike's Oasis in Livermore, laid out by John Lanoue, and that
should count for something. Hope to see you there!
Saturday, May 3rd - LIVERMORE
"The Oasis Loop" - a not-quite-desert-like tour of
the ponds and ridges around Livermore, Fayette, and Chesterville.
START: 10:00 am at Pike's Corner Oasis at the
junction of Rt. 106 and Rt. 133 in Livermore.
DISTANCE: 28 miles.

hills.
HIGHLIGHTS: some scenic back roads including the
famed Ridge Road along the Chesterville Esker, and perhaps a post-ride ice cream
stop.
LEADER: John Lanoue.
