>1600 likes! This week, without ads targeting likes (only promoting attendance at the event itself), we got as many new likes (+15) as we were getting as the first pro-like ad was kind of petering out in effectiveness (initially it was good for 30 ish). Approaching critical mass to achieving a sustainable club???

Stacked team list for Luddington.

Interesting first ride in of the season.

Hines was closed, which was not surprising. I wondered if the maintenance folks who saw me would flag me down or make me stop, but they did not, even though two trucks did pass by when I was in the no go zone. My plan was to profess ignorance, and my assumption that closed meant "to cars".

I expect some flooding, so I had to dismount at Middlebelt, scramble up the embankment, cross Middlebelt, and drop back down.

What I didn't expect was to do that again at Inkster!

At Hines and Outer, well-intentioned folks flagged me through out of turn, but honestly I'd rather wait for my regular traffic spot, rather than jersey lefting and holding everyone up since I wasn't expecting to.

I think I could have been sub hour without those two hiccups. To make up time, I practiced my Idaho stop on Paul.

Of course, the biggest impediment to timely arrival was just not packing up efficiently - I need a process and/or checklist.

Back home. Hines was still closed, but two cars drove it anyway, and more bikes than this morning. Much less water, I was able to stay on the road the whole time. Brief train delay in Plymouth.

Not as much zip, but this was typical before.
