Dam Ride, Tuesday, 6/9/09
Twenty riders did a 27 mile, mostly out-and-back ride to the Salt Creek Dam at the foot of Monroe Lake. Average 15.4, climbing 1131. A little over standard OWLS pace, with little climbing.

F-OWL Weather Ride Thursday, 6/11/09
BBB (Bethel-Boltinghouse-Bottom Ride) with a climb up Sample Rd. 29 miles, average mph 12.2, 1440 feet of climbing. We thought we had a reasonable chance of beating any rain. But it caught us on the way in on Bottom Road. It seems like we’ve had more than our share of rainy Tuesdays and Thursdays this spring.
