10/06 Weekend Wrapup UPDATE

58 miles/16.1 mph average/1700 feet climbing/sunny 40-70 degrees

I did not make it down to the Seagull Century beacuse of the weather. But, Dave Crow and I headed up to Franklin, PA to ride with his friend Sam Gibb. When we arrived in town we headed right into the AppleFest. After driving aound the center of town to avoid the festivities we finally arrived at Sam's house.

Sam had several of his friends, Cubby and John, join us for the ride. We started out from Franklin on 322 and rode out of town. We turned onto 427, then 173, on 27 down into Titusville. From Titusville we rode through the Oil Creek State Park down to 8 into Oil City. From Oil City we rode the rail trail back to the crazy traffic of the AppleFest in Franklin.

It was nice riding in a different area and seeing different scenery. Hopefully we will get a group together and go up next year.
