Dahlias, Part TwoMiles: 54.41 August Total: 127.42 Joanne and I joined the Salem Bicycle Club ride to Frey's Dahlias Farm, east of Jefferson today. However, we decided to ride our singles today rather than our tandem which we rode yesterday. I stayed with the "fast" group all of the way to Frey's where I stopped and let the rest continue on while I waited for Joanne. She stopped for a moment and then continued on while I visited with Kurt and Erica Haas. This allowed Joanne to get a lead on me which I worked hard to catch her on the way back to Salem. However, this effort was short, just five miles or so. Again, this was an easy ride due to the Ring of Fire next weekend.
