Nine riders, 65+ miles, Two "Mechanicals" and Four Flats.   I think we picked up all the glass on this route.    Sadly, we lost Heather on mile one to a bent derailleur hanger.  Her two gravel racer and cyclocross teammates, new to COGS, were more than up to the ride without her.  Thatcher, Noriko with Michael, Brant and Gus were all left behind (with permission) due to flats or some problem or another.  However, an extended stop at Coulon allowed most of them to work together and catch back on.  Good teamwork.  Brant wins the ingenuity prize for getting home via light rail and by strapping his broken down steed onto a Lime bike.  Crazy day.  In spite of threatening weather, it was actually mostly dry and fantastic for riding.  Four of us finished together and everyone else made it home safe.
