Today we wrapped up the first Riv Rally East with another spectacular ride. After yesterday's brief brush with heavy weather, we were prepared for more of the same today. Much to our delight we were greeted by the most magnificent weather...Sunny, cloudless blue skies, and cool. We sampled a few of the awesome dirt roads that traverse the hills around Wellsboro. Wow, these roads were beautiful; perfect for a Riv ride...long gradual climbs, deep woods, flowing streams, beautiful vistas, screaming descents... it had it all.
Thanks to all who made the long drive out to Wellsboro from distant locations: Bruce Oppenheim and Rick Porter (Cleveland, OH) Steve Palincsar (Alexandria, VA) John Philip (Syracuse, NY) Andy Philip (Washington, DC) Norm Rosenblum (Upper Montclair, NJ) (I drove from Belle Mead, NJ) And SPECIAL THANKS to Wellsboro native Bill Yacovissi, for sharing his love of riding along these beautiful roads in this special region with a bunch of complete strangers... Thanks, Bill !!! (More photos to come - in the mean time Andy Philip posted a few nice ones...
