Pedal to Preserve


Today I rode the 20 mile Pedal to Preserve ride for the Lancaster Farmland Trust. The Trust works in partnership with landowners to preserve their farms and way of life for future generations by placing a conservation easement on their property.

This is the third year that I participated.







The ride is well organized. They have 6, 20 and 51 mile rides through the farmlands of Lancaster County.
















The rodes were well marked with bright orange numbers.













Part of the route uses the Pennsylvania S Route.



The ride takes you by many preserved farms.












I caught a draft behind this family! Turns out he is a distributor for the 4 wheel bike. I believe they are 7 speed.
This Amish boy was in a wagon and barefooted. He was kneeling in the wagon and pushing off on one of his bare feet. He was moving pretty good!
69 RPM not MPH!


There were two water stops on the 20 mile route. They had water, bananas, twizzler licorice and Cliff fruit packs.





















There was a great lunch at the end. I had a hot dog, pretzels, apple, water ice and a drink.
