Level B-: 13, 50 miles. Meet at Parking lot behind the Chadds Ford Post Office, at US-1/Baltimore Pike, PA-100/Creek Rd, and Hoffman's Mill Rd. The ride leaves at 9:45 am. Hilly but pretty and meandering loop through southern Chester County, PA and northern Delaware, crossing the scenic Brandywine Creek a few times, as well as a few other creeks and streams.

We'll ride on "Stargazer Rd", and through green, rural countryside. Optional outdoor quick stop in Unionville at mile 19. Outdoor rest stop at mile 27 in Kennett Square - choice of eateries. Total elevation gain is 2965 ft. We will stop to regroup as needed. Most of the climbing is in the first half. Please bring an on-bike snack with you, as well as two water bottles.
