We had 40+ people show up, many more than I expected, probably because of the fantastic weather. After a couple of miles of road and dirt road, we split into 2 groups, one of which (the one I was on) had about 25 riders. With a number of mechanicals, including one bike broken in half (see pics) it was a challange keeping things moving, but everyone in my group had a good attitude about it and seemed to enjoy the day. We had one incident toward the end of the ride when a rider's dog harassed a couple of horses we came across. The horse riders managed to control their horses, but were very upset and threatened to call the authorities about failing to leash or curb the dog, but nothing more came of it to my knowledge. Some more pictures can be found on the CT Forum for NEMBA.
