P.V. Pedals Ride, Thursday 8/12/2021

Hi Everyone!

I’d like to thank all of the 88 riders last week who helped not only to surprise me on my birthday but also provided me with a lot of good conversation on the ride, and afterwards. It was a really good night!

It was great to see so many new riders last week! For those that don’t know, helmets are required.

This week’s ride is going to be a hot one, so I made it easy. There is a good chance of rain showers, so I also made it a short one, 16.6 miles. This route will take a little willpower, with us passing Creekside around the halfway point.

We’ll begin by riding through the Narrows, with a left onto Rt. 192 and a right onto Shaffertown Rd. Follow around and take a left onto Madison Pike Rd, a left onto Rt. 192 and a right to head back through the Millheim Narrows. Go straight through the light. in Coburn, take a right onto Penns Creek Rd, right onto Long Lane and right onto Mill Street, with a left onto Penn Street to get back to Creekside.

With the chance of rain, take a minute to look at the map, just in case I can’t mark the route.

I will try to have Millheim Fire Company follow us through the Narrows to prevent any cars from needing to pass. But please stay in the right lane through the narrow and anticipate vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

Safety Tips

• Stay in your lane or along the berm on Rt 192.
• Allow cars and riders to pass by falling into a single file position as they approach.
• To reduce the need for passing, faster riders, please try to be among the first to leave the parking lot.

Short-cuts…only one this week.

• Stop at Creekside half way through the route!

As you know, we roll how Creekside rolls. If they cancel, we cancel. Look for an email by 4:00 on Thursday with an update.

P.S.
In an effort to start on time… we’d really appreciate it if those of you with extra time could arrive earlier so that we can get late-comers checked in more quickly.
