Originally this was going to be an early evening ride, like Betsy’s Delco Spin, but weather this week looks best in the morning.

Join me on my standard neighborhood “ride around the block” past horse farms and working farms, through a few 18’th century villages, and a covered bridge.

About 2 hours ride time, 24 miles with 1900’ of climbing led at a solid C pace.

At your option you can choose to stop for lunch near the end of the ride at the (somewhat bougie) Mercantile & Café at Yellow Springs or skip that and pedal on about ½ mile to the ride start/finish.

We’ll start at Pine Creek Park , 1488 Yellow Springs Rd., Chester Springs PA. Park on the upper lot, near the porta potties, above the lower fields.

Here’s the Ride with GPS link.

Rain at start or threatening weather will cancel the ride.

Helmets and water are mandatory; a rear light is a smart idea.
