Sunday 7/18 Ride to Doylestown/Lake Galena

Sunday's ride included 6 riders on a course that included a few hills and some moderate reaches. The start was HHHS following a regular route thru Horsham & Warminster, then quickly into the New Britan/Chalfont/Doylestown area around Lake Galena and back. The temperature climbed during the ride adding to the challenge. One roadside repair (flat tire) requiring a quick change of inner-tube was necessary. Many helping hands hastened the process while the opportunity was grasped by some as a learning experience. The importance of adequate pre-ride hydration and proper nutritional intake for a challenging ride was reinforced when a rider experienced severe exhaustion which required resuscitation with food and fluids. The cramping of the legs that ensued rendered the rider nearly incapacitated, however he did make back to base. Many thanks to the group for supporting each other.
