Philadelphia Bike Path Roubaix

I drove down to Carlisle, PA Easter weekend to spend some time with my daughter at her college since she wasn't coming home for the holiday. After breakfast, I dropped her off at her dorm and started heading towards Philadelphia and it started snowing! It didn't last long and two hours later I was hunting for a parking spot in South Philly.

 

Good Gravel on Good Friday

One of the founding fathers of the Newtown Lunartics wanted to start a Friday afternoon ride starting and ending at the Black Beard Bar - which is an extra room in his house that he converted, only he forgot that he promised his better half to take her to dinner. Mike and I decided to meet at the Roxbury Town Hall and ride dirt roads to Kent Falls Brewing Company instead.

Tour de Flanders, Connecticut

In keeping with tradition, Mike Sage-Robison and I did our own Tour de Flanders, “Tour de Flanders, Connecticut.”

Starting from Mike's house in Gaylordsville I picked the flattest route possible while trying to ride as many dirt roads as possible for a 100 KM ride. It was a variation of my Kent Falls Roubaix, only longer and starting from a different location.
