I'm glad that you all had a good time at the Lancaster Covered Bridges Ride, but let me invite you to the other covered bridge ride in the SE PA region, the Central Bucks Bike Club's Covered Bridge Ride, on October 16.
I do many rides put on by other clubs in the SE PA/NJ/DE area, and I can honestly say that CBBC (to which I belong) puts on as fine a ride as anyone around--good support, good food (at the stops and at a post-ride feat), scenic back roads (often tree-shaded), light traffic, rolling to hilly terrain (except the flat short routes, which are on a bike path along the Delaware River). We get riders (2,800 last year) from as far as Connecticut and Virginia.
Here's your invitation:
