This ride will feature a little bit of everything... rail-trail, road, singletrack and a little urban

We'll head over to the southside to S. Mountain -- hitting a small portion of trail, then head south seeking out some hills to ride, back through Fountain Hill and hit a little of Salisbury and back into town. Maybe grab a coffee/hot chocolate in town. Bring money!

Approximate distance: 15 miles (give or take)
Pace: B-C
Technical: A (big hills, rocks, logs)

Details subject to change.

Towpath night ride

Bring a light- park at Sand Island. Figure 1.5-2 hours of riding at a moderate but steady pace. If you're new to night riding, this ride will give you a good opportunity to test out your gear without having to worry about negotiating the trails at the same time. Ill be riding a fixed gear cross bike if that gives you any indication of the speed.

I guess Kenny has been pretty busy up there with the ol' chainsaw and is running out of trail to clear. I'm planning on going up for a few hours on Sunday if anyone wants to join me in hiking and flagging.

The long awaited award winning documentary film, Under Our Skin, has just arrived from California. The film "investigates the human, medical, and political dimensions of Lyme disease." It's a heavy but important topic for all of us and our families. Showing will be at my house; address is 359 Hamilton Avenue, Bethlehem, PA 18017.
I'll have a few edibles and beverages, bring whatever you wish. See you!
