Hamden Bike Trip 9/15/2012

Since the participation level and weather forecast were questionable, the bike trip location was changed this year, from Cape Cod to a more local trail in Hamden .  We all met at the Hamden Middle School . The turnout was much larger than it would have been had we gone out of state.  We rode out about 10 miles to the end of the bike trail, with a few breaks along the way.  At the end of the trail, we regrouped and decided what to do next.  Everyone rode a couple miles back to a cool area for lunch.  After lunch, we decided to ride back to the starting place, then ride an additional 3 miles out then back in order to successfully complete 25 miles.  Everyone had a great time and there only two flat tires!  To top it off, we stopped at Dairy Queen on the way back to Guilford !  This day trip is a great alternative to an impractical overnight trip.
