Chilly Best of Brandywine 1/5

Thu, January 05, 2017 3:59 PM | Joan Oppel (Administrator)
At ride start, temperature was about 29-30 and over the course of the ride, climbed to a warm 33 but fell backwards in the snow on Fenno and St Thomas Church.  Yes, it snowed on us, but this is a very pretty route and today there was hardly any traffic and so - all that made up for chill and flakes in our faces.

Joining me for this really nice 33 mile winter ride (with indoor rest stop at the Nottingham store): Ron Altemus, Alan Kurzweil, Darrell Meyer (Guest), Steve Palincsar and Pat Walthers.

    When the snow started, my mental juke box served me up the first stanza of a Robert W. Service poem:

    There are strange things done in the midnight sun
    By the men who moil for gold;
    The Arctic trails have their secret tales
    That would make your blood run cold;
    The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
    But the queerest they ever did see
    Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
    I cremated Sam McGee.

    Here's a great version of the full poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sax1JekPQMg
