We
had beautiful weather and a splendid ride on Sunday over some great
back roads through Wayne, Fayette, Leeds and vicinity. The scenery was
first rate, the company was grand, and we even got treated to lemonade
at the summit of Mt. Pisgah! Our thanks to Fritz, who managed to lead
the ride on one or more bikes, despite some challenging mechanical
difficulties. This Sunday we will head out to Lincolnville and the
Cellardoor Winery, situated in an elaborately refinished barn nestled in
the hills outside of Camden, and venture out over another very popular
route. Hope to see you Sunday!
