Yesterday I rode the Bethlehem Centuryto check the route. There was a road closure about twelve miles outfrom the end. I spoke to the workmen and they expect it will be fineby the day we ride, but I will go and make sure about Thursday orFriday. If I would need to reroute, I will do so no later thanThursday.
Bethlehem has been a tour stage manytimes, but I think it was last a stage before the Pandemic. As Irode yesterday, I realized that some of you probably have never donethis century before. While it has been on the calendar, it has notbeen a stage. I rather like it when the stages are given a rest andare different each year and I see newer roads. Hopefully you will aswell though parts of this ride have been used in other centuries. Itis nice that it has a rest.
CAUTIONS:
STORE STOPS:
I'm sorry lunch is so early in the ride. We used to eat at Gaffney's sometimes, about mile 63, but they went out of business. So this is it. Please note that the last store stop is not until about 82 miles, so be sure you fuel up.
Lastly, be aware that it is harvest season, and you may encounter farm machinery on the roads. Please yield and be respectful. We are playing, and they are working.
COME OUT AND PLAY~
