By Mark T. Burke First, a big thank you to Jeff Coup and Bill Seaward for joining me in leading three rides this weekend for WBC and the BCP. Jeff’s “31 mile, 17 mile option, 25 miles in the end” ride was great. We explored roads I want to ride again soon. Even though I’ve lived in Danville for almost

By Mark T Burke What a fantastic day for riding. The sun was out, mid 50 degree temps and great company. Thanks Mike and Ryan for joining me on this awesome route. For those that have done the “One Too Many Hills Ride”, this is three of the four climbs. Our stats for today were 28 miles, 2:06 minutes, 45.6MPH

By Mark T. Burke One of the greatest joys of our sport is waking up on a cloudy, chilly morning, heading out to join fellow WBC members for a ride and making an otherwise okay morning into a great morning. I’ve really missed our Lewsiburg rides since Alex moved away. Today’s ride lead by Ryan was perfect. Early season rides
Read moreBy Mark T. Burke Yesterday’s ride goes into the books as one of my favorite WBC rides. After a few months of winter, it’s hard NOT to love a 60 degree ride day with new and old friends. Bill Seaward did an excellent job as ride leader…thanks Bill. The double loop structure was brilliant. We started at Montour Preserve and

By Mark Burke…Fog, wet roads, drizzle, cool temps and 12 WBC riders made for a great ride on Saturday. Thanks to Mike and Lisa for hosting and leading. And, thanks to Mike B for leading one of the spin-off groups. For most of us, Winter isn’t a high mileage time of the year. So, getting out with friends whenever the
Read moreJeff Coup created another WBC hit with his ride around the Montour Preserve. 35 miles and barely a car passed us. Starting with the Muncy Exchange Rd climb was a great way to enjoy the hot and humid weather. Of course, climbing the other side on the return route wouldn’t have been nearly as fun. Thanks to everyone who joined

Sitting here on a humid Saturday morning, about to leave for the WBC group ride at Montour Preserve, Friday’s Keuka Lake ride is going through my head like those film strips we used to watch in elementary school. One frame at a time, with narration, moments along the journey come to the surface and stay for awhile. The feeling of

When Tom tells you to bring a Mountain Bike ( I did.) he really means knobby tires too (I had smooth trail trail tires which made it very

I do believe the group of five riders had something to do with keeping the storms away yesterday. We hoped for great weather enough that maybe, just maybe we WERE able to will the clouds, the rain and the hail away for the day. The morning was one of those mornings that we all think about when we think of
Read moreExciting news, the starting point known as the Pit Stop, for the closed restaurant that sat idle for years, has reopened as the Kavkaz Middle Eastern Restaurant (Loganton PA). So bring your bike locks, the Prez and First Lady will want to try out the restaurant after the ride. But back to the ride… The ride is slated to start
