Well, Tim reported that he had a head cold too ugly to put in a helmet, so just two of us this morning, both with other obligations on the day, so a very short ride today.
Leaving the ho
use at 7:15, the sun was already up a thumb's width above the horizon with the temperature around 35, plenty cold enough to put on all of the gear and plug in, but not bone chilling like last week. A quick run up the Manatawney brought us to the Creekside Diner in Pleasantville, where the great state of Pennsyltucky is making a very big deal out of replacing the Rt 73 bridge over the Oysterdale Creek. After wrapping around a nice breakfast (ham and cheese quiche, strawberry pancakes) and too many cups of coffee, we went out to find the temperature up in the low 40's. Spring is definitely in the air. The willows are yellow, buds are starting to swell, crocuses are up (and blooming at our neighbor's across the road). We took a quick jaunt around the Blue Hills to Macungie and back on roads full of winter grit and the occasional killer pothole. Just 65 miles or so, but home by mid-morning in time to start worrying about taxes.
