I didn't start out planning on
riding to York Haven today...nor did I plan on doing a lot of hills. Sometimes you just have to go where your bike takes you. Once I was in York Haven I decided that there was one hill I had to climb. The weather and I figured the view of the Susquehanna River and Three Mile Island Power Plant would be spectacular. The climb up the hill
Haring Tree Farm is

tough, but the view did not disappoint.
Riding back into and out of York Haven took me across the Conewago Creek and Brunner's Island Power plant.

I ended today's ride with a climb up the Mount Wolf and past the orchards on top of Starview Road.

All in all... a great day to be out on the bike.
