Cumberland (2017-05-12)

Cumberland

As I sit here writing this, the sun is shining and the sky is blue…..not so much the case between 10:15 and 2! We started off in dry conditions from the Filberg but part way up Dove Creek Road, it began to rain….a lot! Some took cover under some trees and waited for it to let up a bit….others continued on and attempted, unsuccessfully, to ride between the raindrops. Some missed most of the rain by doing the Lake Trail/Marsden route to Cumberland and some took a short cut back home. Eventually most of us made it to the Wandering Moose at different times….some were leaving when others arrived. After a bit of warming up inside, we ventured outside for the ride home….and it began to rain heavily again! Not one of our most enjoyable rides for the18 people who began the ride but we endured. Thanks to Bill for coordinating. Nice to see the new bike lanes on Dunsmuir in Cumberland. Hopefully the weather improves a bit for next week!
