START: Heritage Trail Centerville Parking Lot-Glen Rock -- Ride Terrain: Hilly, Ride Leader's Pace: 11 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Lunch, Rain Cancellation: Sprinkles,
As someone told me recently "it's all about the challenge"? (I was going to insert an explanation mark but decided on a question mark-whatever that means).
Windchill Thursday night is 13 degrees. The highest windchill for the ride day is 33 degrees, so figure most of the ride will be in the 20's, and maybe a lower windchill?
If the roads have moisture or any other reason (like sanity) I will cancel by 8:30am.
BTW-the first half of this ride is very hilly and muscles and lungs are not efficient at these temperatures, so expect this to be a major challenge.
Address-Heritage Rail Trail Centerville Parking Lot-Glen Rock, 3437 Seven Valleys Rd., Glen Rock, PA 17327 (37 easy driving minutes from #695/#83N).

We celebrate the first hours of Winter with a bike ride. The winter solstice occurs this morning as we depart at 10:03 am EST for the Northern Hemisphere.
Pretty loop riding down Knox and up to Geist then down to Mantua Mill. We roll over Butler west to Worthington ending in a return via Park Hts to Hillside. No commercial snack stop, unless there is demand for John Browns Coffee (mile 15), so bring a snack for the break at the top of Sagamore (mile 23).
