Speaking of odd town names, we are riding to Intercourse, PA today.

Don’t forget Blue Ball, Bird-in-Hand and Paradise. You can ride through the first two then Intercourse to get to Paradise, but not if you’re from Virginville in neighboring Berks County.

I rode through Foul Rift and S. Foul Rift, NJ again during last month’s tour. Nice area along the Delaware River. Still pretty agrarian.

You know the reason for that fat green line in WY?

Drivers in Lancaster county seem quite patient, likely because of all the Amish buggies they are tolerant of slower moving vehicles. Once in Berks County it feels like the drivers want to kill us.

I've been wet so many times in the last three weeks that it's starting to feel normal. :rolleyes:

Big Boy goes through there quite often?

I don’t think .4 miles has ever been 400 yards.

But how can we really be sure about that, hmmm?

Almost time to ride.... but it's 39⁰ with a bit of wind, so do I don my winter gear (early season wimpiness) or do I fire up the trainer? :foo:

In the 40s here, so similar thoughts.

Quoted for those that have Gravel Rider on ignore.

Depends. Original brakes?

I lived about 15 miles from Woonsocket, back when I didn't have any control over where I lived.

We have the same dilemma here. 41° this AM and windy. We’re waiting until 10:00 to start but it’s still going to be sub-50 and the winds worse.

All that coal coming out of the Powder River Basin I reckon.

I know 2 guys who have put 350 LS1 engines into 240z Datsuns. They said the aluminum LS1 weighs about the same as the original iron 6 cylinder. The weak link becomes the differential. My one friend takes his to the track and besides eating tires he has broken the differential a few times. He has some beefy diff to put in there now.

I'm pretty sure a Chevy v-8 weighs more than the 4 cylinder pea-shooter that came in that MG, though.

Why?
Too late.

were you incarcerated? Held Hostage? Committed to a mental institution?

I've only put two people on ignore: one on Twitter, and the second on another forum (politics subforum).

oil and gas too. #Fracking

Or is that the Dakotas?

You should put me on ignore if you dislike high quality content.

DougRNS, where would you rather see a game today?

A) "the nest"

B)

It needs replaced. I don't spend money for the hell of it.

Another fun fact. For those who have heard of helluva french onion dip, I pronounce it ha-lou-va to piss off my wife. It's a gift.

I am seeing a game tonight in the nest so, the nest obv.
not a fan of large bowl stadiums like knoxville muni.
