Beth, I started out at 8:30 and did the Fort Indiantown Gap ride first but decided not to do the Mt Gretna loop. My problem is that I get cold when the temps drop below 80 (A holdover from having lived in Florida.) and I just had a hard time getting warm. It might have been okay if I just kept riding, but I stopped at the rest stop at the lake and once I got going again it took me way too long to get warmed up. I knew I wouldn't be able to do the Gretna loop without stopping so I decided to call it a day when I got back to the school. Besides, I was pedaling up in Mt Gretna last weekend, a 56th birthday 56 mile ride that went a little long.
Now if I had managed to talk one of the state troopers into a temporary swap of my bike for one of theirs, then I could have done both loops.
But today is another day, the sun is out and the temperature is rising so I guess it's time to go check out the back roads of Lebanon County.

P.S. Nice pictures.
