| The Maple Country Pancake Ride had four riders. The temperature was a
balmy thirty-something, and the precipitation held off. We had a gentle
breeze to keep us cool, and the local dogs stood on their lawns and barked
encouragement. We stopped for pancakes & coffee at Moore's Sugar Shack, home of
THE 2006 WNY Maple Queen. Those pancakes always
taste better after you've climbed Galen Hill... and Bixby Hill... and a couple
of other hills.
Pat Danaher tested a new tactic for the last part of the ride (8 miles of
downhill). He put a gallon of maple syrup into the pack on his rear rack.
But we're not a racing club, in fact we let Dan (the new guy) lead the paceline
for several miles on our return to Arcade.
A good time was had by all.
