There was a light mist in Eagles Mere when we started this 68 mile ride on the day before July Fourth. Two riders from Philadelphia, one from Eagles Mere, and I rolled out at 8 a.m., headed north into Bradford County to the town of Canton. The route would take us down into the basin of the Loyalsock Creek, through World's End State Park, Estella, and Shunk, before climbing over the 2,300 foot Wheelerville Mountain. By the time we returned, the sun was shining, some of us were a bit cooked, and we had climbed over 6,000 feet. Hard work, at least for your correspondent.
Here's a version of the basic route, courtesy of Google Maps:

Finally, here's a photo of our leader Rick Liebert, on the way back from Canton, with a scenic agricultural valley behind him:
