A work buddy's pop has been involved with organizing a fundraising ride for the last couple years, and I finally got talked into going. Of course, as things like this go, work buddy wasn't able to make it. Perhaps another time.

It was the best marked ride I ever went on, so a shout out for the Conquer the Hills gang is in order. Good job. The baked goods were first rate, too, but that picture didn't work out.

I was wondering how they could have a ride in Delaware based on hills, but they did good. I picked the 50k.

The scurvy looking lagoon in the picture, and the one before it are the straight-up nastiest place I have ever worked. I'm glad it is standing idle.

Anyhow, covered bridges, grub, some old barns, some neat sights, and a good day.

Nice post. I've always wanted to ride out there but I've never brought a bike with me. I get out to Wilmington twice a year. My dad lives out there, near point #26. I live in CA. I've always noticed how narrow the roads seem. How's the riding?

... How's the riding?

Pretty good. Like any small roads, some people are better at sharing than others.

Sure a lot greener than where I live. Pretty countryside.

That was a fun ride. I grew up in northern DE,I like to ride out that way a lot, and still we hit some hills I didn't know about.

Good thing it was well marked. I forgot my jersey and had to borrow a shirt with no pockets. I stuffed my inflator and spare down the back of my bibs but didn't bother carrying the queue sheet.

Looks like a senic ride. Interesting stuff along the way.

I did the 50 mile 'Ride The Rollers' option of that ride and had a blast! I'm a Delaware native, but once we got a little ways up in to Chester County, PA I was lost. The roads up there are definitely narrow, but the traffic is very light - especially on a Saturday morning.

10ae1203 - There are plans for that facility that you worked at. Give it a few years and there may be a good reason to ride a bike through reincarnation of that facility

Can you say what it is?
