Rode to New Wilmington on Sunday
John's journeys
Our church joined with the other churches in New Wilmington and had a service at the Ampitheater. I figured since it was outside it wouldn't matter if I got a little sweaty getting there. We sure have lots of hills here in western Pa. I passed an Amish buggy going up the hill on Rt 158 just before you cross over I-80. They evidently didn't like getting passed by an old man on a bicycle because as soon as I was around them they speeded up. The horse was tired, I heard it pick up it's pace so I speeded up a little bit myself. They never caught up with me. Going down the big hill past Durisko's was fun. I could have used a taller gear.
In the afternoon my wife and I got together with her sister and a couple friends and we rode the rail trail up at Franklin. The one guy was visiting from New Zealand so I brought my mountain bike for him to ride. He really enjoyed the ride.
