Happy Cinco de Mayo! We celebrated by enjoying a morning Paseo through Island Ford. Before launching off, we broke the ice by telling what our favorite Mexican food is (who knew that margaritas, Tecate, and Dos Equis count as "food"!) The group maintained a speedy Gonzalez pace with only a few minor protests. 

Muchas Grácias to Susan and Doug for taking turns as sweeper. So as not to disappoint the regular trip leaders, we got in a solid 6-plus miles and tackled the big hill up the road for our grand finale. Much of the group continued the cameraderie over burgers at North River Tavern. And Joyce must have invoked her rain bubble from across the country: as we got in our cars and drove away, the first raindrops began to fall.
