At the ride start - the two folks in the background pose for a Norman Rockwell picture - I think they cannot believe what they are seeing.
Simon - heading N on Marsh Pike
Going down the road
Colm (L) and Sugar Ray (R
Almost to Pennsylvania
The bunch
Jeff Johnson - still no punctures
Colm, Ray , Catherine
Passing a farm between Hagerstown and Fayetteville
Our rest stop on US30 in Fayetteville; gas is about 2.39; three years ago here it was 2.62 and was 30 cents lower than in Maryland
The ride leader's Vicodin fix is beginning to work
We are joined by John Johnson
North of Fayetteville, still south of Shippensburg
Catherine
Chris's jersey - the locals were a-scared of him
A farm near Shippensburg, PA
Contrasting our ride vs. Interstate Route 81
The Shippensburg Sheetz...
...where you can buy condoms....
...or, if you don't have any change, you can change the baby's diaper
Beginning the climb on Shippensburg Rd - up "Big Flat" ridge
...the climb goes on...
...and on...
WHOA! The Vicodin is really kicking in now!
...climbing still...
...it goes on and on for about 4.5 miles
Catherine at the top
At the bottom, awaiting one more rider
John Johnson: "Look, mom. No brakes."
Helmet cam, going S on Pine Grove Rd through Michaux heading to Caledonia State Park
Pine Grove Rd, downhill
Catherine catching up - 110-lb women do not descend quickly
Colm; we reach Rouzerville PA
Looking dark; the rains held off and we made it back dry
