Looking back downstream at Roaring Brook Wallingford

Looking back downstream at Roaring Brook Wallingford

East of Wallingford VT140 climbs along Roaring Brook.  The brook is visible from the road for a few miles.  At this point I'm looking back towards Wallingford and down the brook.  On a July ride a few years ago many of the riders sat on rocks with their feet in the water.  
    While I was getting warm riding uphill in the sun a chilly downhill in the shade was coming.  The temp was just perfect.  I don't remember any shade from clouds, altho many roads were in the shade of trees.
