Wanna' Ride From Cementon to Jim Thorpe?

Yesterday afternoon, I received an email telling me my Cannondale Trail 5 had finally arrived. I dropped everything to pick it up. The bike was located at an REI in Princeton, so it must be quite intelligent. It's also a best. I took it on its inaugural ride last night, and it's even better than the one stolen from me. But the bike is only part of the story. What;s really great about cycling are all the great trails in this area. So I want to invite you to join me on a ride from the Cementon Trail Head to Jim Thorpe and back. 

I've already made arrangements to do this with another cyclist on September 12. We will be leaving the Cementon Trailhead of the D&L on September 12 at 9 am. From there we will ride past Slatingtopn, Weissport and into Jim Thorpe. We'll stop for lunch and then make our way back.

You are welcome to join us for all or part of the ride. Trump lovers. Trump haters. QAnon wing nuts. Antifa. I would request that you bring a tube in the event of a flat and wear a helmet.

  3. I will try to join you. I just returned from the 34th Annual Ben to the Shore ride which is a 65 mile ride from Philadelphia to Atlantic City.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
