I wasn’t mentally (or probably physically) prepared for that, so all of us that were in this small group opted to just continue on our path and head back to the finish at Pennings Farm. The alternative was to backtrack to the aid station and add about 9 extra miles to the ride. We could just continue down that same road we had been on for a while and we would miss the two aid stations but we would still end up doing about 30 miles total of riding. With the help of a friendly passerby, we figured out where we were and ironically we were headed back in the direction of the start/finish. But when Terry put the aid station address in his GPS, it was 9 miles away.
Based on my bike mileage, we should have been less than 2 miles from the next aid station. We went to make a turn and realized it was a yellow arrow, not a red arrow (for our route) and at that point about 5 of us paused to try to figure out where we were. I think we all just assumed we were all going the right way, haha. However, we didn’t realize we were lost for a very long time because we were in a group of a few other people that were also going in the same direction. Here’s where our ride goes off track (literally): we left the aid station and apparently must have missed signage at some point, because we got lost. At the aid station they also had cheese and crackers, some bars, gatorade – and they were making fresh brick oven pizza using cheese from the local creamery! It was so tasty. The first of three aid stations was at mile 16, and it was definitely welcome at that point! I was thirsty (it was about 90 degrees out) and looking forward to refilling my water bottle. The course was definitely hilly but it was actually not nearly as bad as I had mentally made it out to be in my head! (I wanted to but I know nothing about foraging and didn’t want to accidentally poison myself). We saw cows and horses, tons of vegetable crops, and even saw one of the riders pause on the side of the road to eat a few wild raspberries. The first 16 miles of our ride were wonderful – beautiful scenery with lots of farmland. I am slightly claustrophobic and not the most graceful rider (aka I would probably cause a mass accident, haha) so Terry and I waited it out nice and calmly on the side until everyone else had passed the start. The ride is a mass start, with all the riders beginning at the same time. ? And the director delayed the start by about 15 minutes to make sure everyone had enough time to check in and get situated. Thankfully my husband did that while I waited with the bikes. It actually wasn’t too bad distance wise, but walking back to the car after check in (to put swag bags away) was straight up hill. I was glad we did because parking was a bit far from check in. We got there about an hour before the start. The ride was scheduled to start at 8:30am, which I felt like was a good time – not too early that you had to get up before sunrise, but not so late that you were waiting around or anything. I must have asked my husband about 20 times what to do, before I finally just told my inner self to shut up and stick with what I signed up for. I knew the 36 mile ride would have about 1600 feet of climbing and I wasn’t used to that. Even though this wasn’t a race, I was feeling super nervous all weekend! I kept looking over the course map, and wondering if I should drop to the 12 miler because of the problems with my foot and the lack of hill riding. My family and I headed back to NY on Friday afternoon, giving us some time to enjoy the weekend with family and friends before the ride. Here’s my Farm to Fork Fondo review & recap… It definitely lived up to my expectations.
