Weather forecast for today was calling for perfect weather, so I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity to burn up some fuel and tire rubber. One of my favorite riding areas for day trips is the area between Bedford, PA, McConnellsburg, PA, Flintstone, MD, and Hancock, MD; decided to ride some old familiar roads and some new ones. Slabbed it out Orleans Rd. and headed north on PA 26.
I like to cut across Miller's Corner Rd. to Chanysville; single lane road can be a tight squeeze if someone is coming the opposite way.
Runs through some nice forest land.
Stopped at Mike's Place in Clear Ridge for a bag of chips and an ice tea. You know you're not at the corner Starbucks in Yuppieville, USA when you see one of these in the parking lot.
Noticed lots of folks getting the next cutting in. This fellow was on Rock Hill Church Rd.
More greenery from Monroe Mountain Rd.
Swung by Whitetail on the way home; might be a while before these ski runs see snow again.
Great day, great ride, even made it back before the evening rush hour traffic. Days like this this time of the year are a gift for which I am grateful. Tom
