Montse to New Castle

Montse in the morning  This was our first long ride on Montse and she behaved admirably well.  Not perfectly, but admirably well.  We started out with a run up Goshen/Strasburg to gas up at the Wawa on 352 and 3.  From there we headed up 352 to an antique shop on 352 just past Gradyville. After that stop we went back ton 352 to 926 and out towards Delaware.  At the corner...

Mystery Mansion

Manor House on Wetherby Lane  There's a house in New Orleans... No, the house is actually on Wetherby Lane in Easttown but that's a good line to start out with and its is really not so much a house as and English manor.   At any rate, this house sits at the top of a hill at the end of a lane surrounded by what looks like a typical 1970s subdivision.  Try as I might, information...

A Boy and His Car

Autumnal Equinox Ride

This year it doesn't happen until Tuesday the 23rd but that's in the middle of the week and there might not be an opportunity to get a good ride in then, so we'll call today the Autumnal Equinox. This was a midday afternoon ride starting with the Goshen/Strasburg loop.  Weather was nice but a little warmer than yesterday so no need for leather gloves.  The traffic on Goshen/Strasburg was...

Random Rides

Baldwin's Book Barn (taken with my Nikon D7000) The last month has been very busy with work and travel and not much time for riding.  Since August 14th I've only been able to clock a little over 300 miles on the Bullet.  Some of that was done commuting to work and with just a handful of short rides. Willistown Quaker Meeting House On August 14th, I managed a ride out to Baldwin's...
