Another week of feeling like hills and longer mileage would be too much. My daughter and I went over to Adamstown to ride the neighborhood roads.
Flat, easy, low miles, with good company and a playground break near the end of the ride. This is what it is all about.
![]() | Being married to a kindergarten teacher sometimes makes for strange passengers. Curious George and Arthur came along to get their photos taken for a demonstration lesson. |
![]() | A short section of country road. |
![]() | Carroll Manor Volunteer Fire Company. |
![]() | New development. It was interesting to see some "New Urbanism" influences in this neighborhood. Garages tucked behind homes, alleyway access, lots of porches, etc. If ya' gotta' build 'em, this seems to me to be the way to go. You could even make it more appealing by adding a MARC stop in Adamstown. The line is in walking distance of all the places we rode today, and less tha 300 yards from where this photo was taken. Will it ever happen? No. |
![]() | The old way... It is hard to tell in this photo, but the part of the building on the left is the 3 bay garage! It would be a good workshop though.... |
![]() | A few more streets, and then a bit of fun at the playground. This keeps the stoker enthusiastic about riding. |
![]() | Today's Map. No need for a profile today. The whole 13 miles was almost tabletop flat. |
