PSPSarge: You're right. I messed up. The total ft of climbing is likely double my estimate of 1800 ft. I will blame it on menopausal brain fog (or a messed up spreadsheet). A couple of nice climbs on the Gretna loop, and nothin' but rollers on the Gap loop. As for the torn-up roads, we've made an attempt to bypass the mess by bringing the route down Old Mine, rather than all the way out 117. The only stretch I'm not sure of (depends on what Penndot does on Friday) is the one from Old Mine up to Mt Pleasant. Old Mine is, in my opinion, a much nicer route.
As for the Gap loop, I'll be riding it tomorrow night for a final check.

PAPedaler, thanks for the scouting report! The route was checked last weekend, and looks good.

Aww, Grahny - too bad. Work on a Saturday instead of a ride is just not right. I hope they're making it worth your time. If you feel like heading up this direction for a ride some weekend, just let me know - I have several groups with whom I do long rides most weekends.

And Grasschopper?? WTH. I mean really. No excuses.
