So here are the details:

Meet at 209 whitehill st lemont, PA @ 8am on saturday. we leave @ 8.30. cue sheets to all that need them. plan for an all day ride. this will be a casual, non racepants ride, with only a few hammerheads who dont know what a granny gear is. massive amounts of rain will only serve to shorten the ride by about 20 miles. bring lunch food, riding food, at least 2 water bottles, (refills availible halfway thru ride at lunch break…) warm morning clothing, maybe a poncho/rain coat/rain pants/shoe covers depending on weather. its been about 38 degrees here in the AM, until about 10, so dress appropriately. bring cameras, fall is in full bloom here. bring spare tubes, tire boots, the dirt roads are not in good shape. plan on drinking beer and eating prospectors bbq after the ride. bring say… 10-20 dollars for the communal beer/food fund, depending on what kinda drunk eater you are.

directions to my house:

from state college: take college ave east towards the mall. about .33 of the way to mall, turn right up towards lemont onto elmwood st. at the light in lemont go straight for about 100 yards, turn left on whitehill, we’re the 3rd house up, red brick, big porch. kudos to those who ride to the ride. silent death stares for those who dont.

from DC/b-more ect…
once you get on 322, from harrisburg, stay on that for many miles (youll see signs for state college repeatly.) as you start to get closer, say within 10 miles, start looking for the lemont/oakhall exit. take that exit, go left at the stop sign (at the end of the exit) and go pretty much exactly 2 miles, then go right on whitehill st. 3rd house on left, brick, blah blah blah. if you get to a stop lite, you went 100 yards too far.

scroll down for a list of recommended stuff to bring/be equipped with. a small tail light and hbar lite wouldnt be a bad notion, either.
