I am in Bedford, Pennsylvania. I stopped in Berlin, Pennsylvania. Met a nine year old and a eleven year old...tall and smart for their age. Their grandpa is 62. Dad says "Hi" to them if they check this blog. They have mountain bikes.
Yesterday, I stayed in the Confluence Park. We rode a trail of crushed limestone...fairly decent trail, probably covered 35 miles on it yesterday...eventually it will end up in WA DC. Great ride cept it's a bit boring....there would be a great view if the trees weren't in the way. The hills of the regular roads break up the monotony. The doily is still not thick enough on the seat. We're still a bit sore. I'm off for dinner.

Who is Uncle Bud?
Uncle Bud was Bruce's oldest brother and Kathy's Dad. He and Bruce had planned to do this ride together when Uncle Bud retired. Unfortunately Uncle Bud passed away in March of 2003. Bruce and Bud began biking together when Bruce was in his mid 40s and Bud was in his mid 50s. (They were both over the hill and so decided to climb some more.) Kathy and Bruce have been training since the beginning of the year for this memorable occasion in memory of Kathy's Dad. Go Team Uncle Bud!

FYI
Beth and Dad (aka Bruce) are the writers for this blog (with others contributing whether they know it or not). We will update as often as possible but Dad is finding that he doesn't always have internet capabilities. Some items/text added may be by word of mouth so the accuracy might be questionable...but even when it's straight from the horse's mouth it's questionable.*grin Dad may just email events and pictures and Beth will post or Beth will just make up stuff to write and have Joe draw the pictures. Either way...ENJOY!
