It's still hot in Lancaster County, but the humidity is far less. There's a breeze, and the air is clear.
We rolled out around 1:30 PM and rode into Mt Joy along Rte 230 (Main Street). We made our way down West Donegal Street where Melissa and Tony live, then down to Musser road, a beautiful rolling farm lane south of town.
This was the first time on this route, so we had a few missed turns, but finally made our way over to Pinkerton Rd past Groff Farm Golf Club. Here the road descends steeply, then follows Little Chiques Creek until it crosses via an ancient stone bridge.
Every downhill results in an uphill, so we climbed out of the valley, then left onto Longenecker Road back into Mount Joy.
It was a nice day for a tandem ride, and we'll try to remember the intense green, the warm sunshine, the sound of the corn rustling in the breeze, and the birds flitting overhead this January, when everything is encased in snow and ice.
