Four dampish cyclists enjoyed the first official Bike Boogie !!! of 2009, heading out from Peddie down Old York Road, then right-left-righting our way into the WPA town Roosevelt, where we stopped for a lesson about a stimulus package from the 1930s. Nimrod Hayet, Caitlin Heim, and Ms. Marisa Green were patient auditors and lovely cyclemates. We then headed up into Assunpink Wildfire Management Area, leaving the pavement for a route south along an disintegrating old road, a perfect slow ride in the soft wet of the halted rain. Leaves dripped, mud and sand slurped on our wheels, and we wobbled along the double track waterway of the south route to Imalystown. When we hit Stagecoach Road, we turned left and headed east on to Clarksburg, where we checked out the old Methodist church, its cemetery and defunct outhouse, and then the general store for fuel. Then we headed back home up 571. The day started out in drizzle, but ended in grace and calm, a lovely morning. -- PJClements [pclements@peddie.org]
