22 or 31 miles-decide at mile 18/19.
This ride is 100% on paved roads. We will eat at mile 19-20. The group will decide if we eat at Rutters in Shrewsbury or a really neat coffee shop 1 mile off the route (est-no turns) on Main Street also in Shrewsbury. The Village Coffee & Cream coffee shop (Carol & Walt's "find") is worth the experience and has sweets, ice cream, eggs and bagels and coffee (FYI-they are open on Mondays but closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays).
The ride can be cut short after the coffee shop (mile 19) and one can get back to the start in only 3 miles (vs 12).
I will bring lots of formatted cue sheets as a courtesy.
Indoor bathrooms at the ride start and finish!
Anyone over a 10mph pace will not ride alone (I MIGHT RIDE ALONE).
Cancellations for any reason(s) will be posted by 7:30am.
Address of the ride start is: New Freedom Rails To Trails, 117 N. Front St, New Freedom, PA 17349

Rolling with some bigger hills. Rest stop at mile 26. There's a bit of construction going on around mile 18 but hopefully not much going on during the weekend. On the return trip you get to see a jet plane parked on a front lawn. I modified the last 7 miles so we don't repeat the starting 5 miles. Should work out.
