Gettysburg PA
Parking at 111 Seminary Ridge
The next ride will be on Saturday, 3 June. The subject will be “The Impact of Artillery on the Battle” ( pun intended ). This topic will take us to the major battle scenes of all three days, and will cover a lot of the battlefield. As a note for new riders, this is not a difficult ride at all. We only cover short distances at a time and stop frequently to present what happened along with interesting facts about the battle. The Army calls Artillery “The
Queen of Battle” and this presentation will clearly explain why they do. We do stop for lunch which will be another break.
Due to Parking Lot # 3 being under construction, we will meet in the parking lot of the Lutheran Seminary’s Museum ( The Cupula Building ). The best street address is 111 Seminary Ridge. As always, be there not later than 8:45 AM and bike helmets are required. The rain date will be Sunday, 4 June and I will send out a notice Friday night should that be necessary.
Thanks,
Buck Buchanan

Old Jonestown Route one, said to me last year; there is no such road. Well last year I found this 1/2 mile stretch and we rode it from Jonestown out through the town of Waterworks where we joined familiar roads again. This ride will repeat most of the route from last year, but if you know the leader, the routes are almost always different.
This will be about a 45 mile ride, the exact distance is yet to be determined.
