First time doing this ride of about 30 miles out of CTMB

D+ / D++ / C- welcome to join me.

There will be a short-stop at Just Riding Along at mile 17.

Weather Forecast: Sun with some clouds/ Temps in the high 70s with some humidity

Come join me on Thursday

I am putting this out there to pull some of the C+/B riders from Tracy's ride to open up room.  So if you are an irascible (or can name your favorite from the Jan 1951 photo) or will be in the faster group on the other ride, join in.  B listed so no official sweep but some regroup.  C ride behind us if you get dropped.  Some rain potential so we will watch for any Friday am changes.   Maurice has a banger listed if you want to go long B.

G and I are training for Mallorca and trying to put in the miles.  Short break at Wawa.  Come join us. Hopefully showers will hold off until the afternoon.

Backing up Tracy's ride for those looking for a more relaxed pace or those who are not yet fully conditioned for a longer ride on a warmer day.  Come join me before the temps get cool again next week.

My respectful expectations:

1. I will sweep as per the Ride Leader manual.
2. I expect at least 1 person to ride with me, especially since I have a cardiac condition. 
3. I prefer that all who sign up commit to riding within the club’s average speed for the posted pace and prefer you not sign up if you plan to exceed the maximum average speed for the posted pace. Anyone who chooses to ride faster than the maximum average speed for the posted pace will be considered to be on your own unless you stop to regroup periodically. 
4. Please be able to maintain the minimum average speed for the posted pace, however, no one will be dropped. 
5. No one rides alone. 
6. Keep an eye on your fellow riders: bikes break, accidents happen, medical emergencies happen.

Join this ride that departs from Hope Park and Ride for a tour over the Portland Bridge to Bangor, PA.  We'll stop at Empire's Coffee in Bangor to enjoy outside seating on this summer-like day! 

A Club favorite, revised to avoid PA Rt 611 after one rest stop, until just before the next rest stop, replacing it with some very pretty, but hilly roads.

Locust Lake to Linaberry Rd (370' in 3.3 miles @ mile 2.6) From State St. to Totts Gap Rd. (390' in 3.8 miles @ mile 13)

Bangor (Renee's Diner - slow service - mile 24, other options in Bangor) Short Detour to Pie's to Die For - L @ mile 23.2 onto Broadway - 2 blocks down on Left Belvidere (mile 32)

Spring kickoff ride that will start after cleanup.  May start sooner or later.

Lots of good climbs (Hollow Brook, Cokesbury, Long Rd) and a fabulous descent (the other side of Cokesbury) with a great view of Round Valley, we see the reservoir but don't go around it.

Lebanon Boro General Store (mile 20) Mountainville (early - mile 15.6 - Closed Sun, Mon, Tues) Whitehouse General Store (mile 28) Short detour to Kings Plaza (Starbucks, Bagel Junction, Kings) - L on Whitehouse at mile 26.3, R on Main St/CR 523. After food stop, cross Rt 22 at light, follow old Rt 28/Easton Tpk back onto cue.

This is a short ride that hits many of the usual roads in the opposite direction and a few nice hills.
