Hey everyone. We did the Montgomery Burns route today. Our start was delayed due to weather, but once we got moving, we had a fun and social ride.  
Thanks to @Bikedawn and @bill for the route choice.  
It was great to have some regulars like @ReneH, @barbara and @carlsberg. It was also nice that @hootmeowwoof aka Ed joined us again.

We stopped by Sunnyview bakery for some treats and drinks. I highly recommend their Whoopie pies and mini-Johns.

Here are some photos.

A little delayed but turned into a beautiful day. Great group to have out. Sunnycrest is worth the stop for whoppee pies.

That was fun.

I really enjoy the view of the Conestoga River valley when coming into Hawksville on Geddes from the north. The sun was a bit shy, but with a little time while the group was visiting Sunnycrest…

Appropriately, there were lots of hawks around Hawksville 😀

The sky was awesome,
