I won't kid you....the Covered Bridge is a HILLY ride. In this area, it's just hard to avoid! But don't let that scare you off...it's also one of the best loved rides in this area, so you won't be disappointed! The scenery is AMAZING!

As long as the sun is out, October is the best month for cycling around here IMHO. It's crisp in the morning, you will need your arm warmers. I usually go with knickers and a vest too. But it warms up quite a bit in the afternoon, so make sure your are layered.

Some other clubs websites to check for rides are:

There are SO MANY great areas that are full of history and cycling friendly!
Some areas of interest that you may want to add to your agenda are Valley Forge National Park, the Lancaster area (Cindy gave some great rides...and you may spot Floyd!), and of course Trexlertown...home of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. Oh yeah....and there's that city near here (word of warning, if you're from Dallas, you may want to keep that low key around here...unfortunately, I'm not kidding)

I could go on and on....if you have any questions, shoot me a PM anytime!

Cindy...it sounds like you've been pretty active with the LBC...I'll PM you, I think I need to make a trip out that way for some riding and Martini's!

I would love to meet up with you both at the CB ride, however, I'll be in Cincinatti for the Sunflower Revolution (benefits the Davis Phinney foundation...see thread under Charity Rides)

Have a wonderful trip!
