May 28 Ride - Beavermeade to Douro

On a beautiful spring day we cycled north on the RGWT over the canal for a ride east on the Pioneer Rd bike path. However when we reached the end of the bike path my e-bike lost it's power & Arndt had a flat tire. After replacing the inner tube Arndt was able after a few tries to obtain adequate pressure so he & I returned to Beavermeade. From Bill - After the flat tire & Pete's battery problem, the rest of us continued to Douro. On Warsaw Rd, it had been freshly Micro-paved, but was still rideable. We turned south on Douro 4th line, only to find the gravel portion had been freshly graded. A bit of a scary ride, but we kept to the edge out of the soft gravel & everyone made it through OK.  We came upon the grader at Division Rd, turned right & continued to Sweeney, turning left to Old Norwood Rd. From there we rode across a very busy TV Rd to Ashburnham Dr. & continued to Beavermead.The picnic shelter was cordoned off so only 3 of us (Bill, Blake, & Burton) stayed for lunch under  a tree.
