Distance: 50.32 miles Max Speed: 25.88 mph Time: 03:34:21
Avg Speed: 14.09 mph Bike: Easy Racers Gold Rush Replica LWB Bent Club: 'BentRider Recumbent Club
Weather Conditions: Cool start low 60s and warming into the upper 70s with clear skies and low humidity. Light winds late out of the SE.
Ride Description: Oh Dear No Deer for Phil Ride. Met Phil at the park at about 6:30am after riding down Diley and spotting 8-10 deer in the soybean field before the railroad tracks. We rode on the trail down to Bexley and stopped at COSI for breakfast before heading back. Phil spotted a red tailed hawk on the powerline tower as he was lamenting his inability to find deer in the park. We never did see a single deer. To add to his frustration we stopped to talk to Tom Frazier on the trail who told us he just saw 4 fawns and numerous adults along his path. Though we crossed that same area 30 minutes later we never saw a single deer. We decided a fake target practice deer should be erected near Abby Trails just so Phil can feel better about it. Nice ride today. Here is the route:
