First ride of the season

I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and got a jump start on this years riding seasons... there is a portion of the D & L trail that is not too far from home ... so off I went...

I picked up the trail about 7 miles south of Slatington and follow the path north to the trailhead and parking lot... in the summer months there is a hot dog stand up and running... but given that this was still February I knew not to expect my usual reward...


The trail is in great shape no doubt thanks to the very mild winter we are having .. mostly small twigs and the occasional wetter than the rest sections are about the only obstacles I encountered on this ride...

it it was only a short 14 mile ride .. enough to check out the bike and remind me I've got some training to do before my big rides later in the year...

14.2 miles ... 1 hour 18 minutes .. 62 degrees... February...
