WNATV Ride 5 – King Run(Wednesday, June 16, 2010)Sponsored by: G. J. Mechanical
The
ride was sponsored by G J Mechanical who is noted for their works with steel. The 7 riders who participated were in fact men
of steel. Forgetting that the weatherman said torrential
rains was to come, this sturdy group of 7 left the parking area in a light drizzle. As the ride progressed the rain got a little harder and harder as we stopped at Mosquito Creek and at
the hunt camp. Lunch was held under the protection of a branchy spruce tree. From
there we still managed to see the beautiful maple and yellow birch stand of trees on the alternate trail. As the ride progressed
the latter part of the trail got harder as any low areas
filled with water. We did, however, find a pair of prescription sunglasses that a fellow member had lost on the cleanup ride the week before. The King Ride is rated a 4 but on June 16th,
it had to be a 5. We all had to check our feet at the end of the ride to see if
they weren’t webbed. With all of this the whole group had a great time.
