\"IMG_2016\"Today was the first full-day bike ride. We met at Blakely Park and biked on the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail to Jermyn.
\nIt is a nicely paved trail that is primarily wooded and shaded and it offers nice views of the calmly flowing river.\u00a0 Thanks to trail signage in Jermyn, we learned that Jermyn was founded in 1874 and is known as \u201cThe Birthplace of First Aid in America\u201d because the city offered the nation\u2019s first class on first aid to coal miners.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2008\"<\/a>After getting off the trail in Jermyn, we used a variety of roads in Mayfield and Carbondale to get to Forest City,\"IMG_2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_2012\"<\/a> with the last leg of our journey taking us up the relentless incline of Route 171 and past views of the Waymart wind turbines.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1901\"<\/a> We finally stopped for a \u201csecond breakfast\u201d at the Bakery, Caf\u00e9, and Eatery attached to the Citgo station where we had omelets, muffins, pancakes, eggs, homefries, toast, and a lot of chocolate milk! \"IMG_1905\"<\/a>The service was great and our waitress was nice enough to take a group photo and send us off with a wave.\u00a0 We retraced our tire tracks back to Blakely, completing the 33 mile ride, \u00a0but not before thoroughly enjoying \"IMG_2011\"<\/a>
\nthe Rt 171 descent into Carbondale, a lot of roadside Queen Anne\u2019s lace \"IMG_2010\"and other wildflowers alongside the road … and of course some photo ops.<\/p>\n
