Bollinger Road & Creek Road

Struble Lake

Struble Lake is only about 6 miles from my house. I did even know it existed until I started biking. Struble Lake is a 386-acre impoundment owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and managed by the Fish and Boat Commission for public fishing and boating

Biking is great--- it gets you out and about in the world.

Follow the Arrows

I have been noticing some bike route markers.








Today I decided to follow the 25 mile markers and see which bike ride it was.









There was a rest stop a Springton Manor Farm.



It stopped and started at Victory Brewing in Downingtown. It looks like it was the Bike Fresh Bike Local on September 21, 2008.

We had a snack stop at Saint Peter's Village.

Some of the group I rode with. We had a pretty good pace line going.
