Williamsport Bicycle Club

I know it is January but Channel 16 is calling for some sun and temperatures near 50 degrees F so the Prez and First Lady will be leading a early season ride from the Pennsdale Fire Company parking lot at 12 Noon. I can adjust the ride depending on the riders that day. I have shown two versions below. The plan is to all start together and split off at the decision point near Hughesville. The First Lady will lead the shorter flatter loop past the quarry and I will lead the group up to 864 and the downhill on Quaker Church Road back to Pennsdale. Just remember that there will be gravel/ antiskid on the roads this time of year.
