Ah, my old stomping grounds! Congrats on the 2nd place. If I am thinking clearly, you would have ridden past the house my family lived in when I was born. When I got back into riding last year, I loved zooming around back there on the weekends. I'm glad you liked the course. It is a beautiful area, isn't it? The roads are a little thin and curvy but actually, rather safe for most riders since the locals take them slower cuz of the horse and buggies everywhere. Too bad about the crash though. She must have come down really hard.

Don't forget to go on back in Aug for the Covered Bridges Ride with my former bike club. It's not a race... but the scenery shouldn't be missed. http://www.lancasterbikeclub.org/cbm.php
Of course, we are the kick off to the Triple Crown Series that happens in June as well. I hope some of you ladies made it to those. http://www.procyclingtour.com/connected.cfm/press_id/29
Then you've got the US National Cycling Festival this coming weekend in Seven Springs. http://www.7springs.com/bike/roadfestival.htm It's in western PA so maybe a little far for you in NJ. If you ever go though, take some extra time to see some of the cooler sights in the area like Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright. http://www.paconserve.org/index-fw1.asp

Ahhh, so many cool places in PA to see from a bike.
