Since there is interest in starting a ride to New Hope PA this weekend, I decided to go ahead and start a thread. I propose that we meet up in New Hope for breakfast on Sunday morning and then ride from there. Sound like a plan?

used to be called devils playground or devils potato patch back in the day.

and yeah, i'm down for riding to new hope, although i've always been a fan of getting there in the afternoon to chill and have lunch and a drink at havanna's. there's great scenery there on warm days, but being that its now october, all the betties will be sporting thick wool sweaters and what not. either way, i'm in!

Is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil's_Half-Acre,_Pennsylvania what your talking about? I have never been there however, I have been around that area many times and I must say BEAUTIFUL roads. [thumbsup]

 

[DrFatz]

Hey HyperM3, you had mentioned a good place to get pancakes around New Hope?

 

[sodark]

mmmm pancakes.
...go on...

 

[DrFatz]

I was thinking of meeting maybe around 9:30-10 and getting some good pancakes and then hitting the road for some good old riding around northern bucks.

 

[KnightofNew]

...go on...

is there a wide variety of breakfast meats?

I'm assuming that's here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=new+hope,+pa&daddr=&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=40.570708,-75.128975&spn=0.021646,0.042272&om=1

Note that 32 is closed between there and 611 and you have to detour onto Narrows Hill Rd.

Closed as in 'can't get through at all' (like the bridge is out...) or closed but can be picked through on a bike?

 

[sodark]

there's ways around the detours, and the're pertty cool super narrow creek running roads up and down the hill sides with some killer scenery. just follow me to New Hope!

 

[DrFatz]

Okay so people seem cool with New Hope as a meeting place...now onto the hard part. Where do we want to ride to and where do we all want to meet in New Hope?

Actually it was Doylstown, and every server is of the female persuasion. Im pretty sure this is the one:

B Maxwell's Restaurant
37 N Main St, Doylestown, PA
215-348-1027

Dunno, I was in the cage last week when I hit it. It's a short detour. Only the very north end of 32 for a few miles before it hits 611 is out of commission.

You are correct Dave, its detoured in Lumberville and its not more than 3 miles closed.
The detour is pretty straightforward and fun.

Hyper, i like the idea of meeting in Doylestown actually, then we can ride around for a while and end up in New Hope for lunch. Where's the spot in D-town?
Fatz, you down for meeting for breakfast in D-town?

Of course! D-Town is closer to me then New Hope, besides if I recall correctly (this time [cheeky]) Hyper said that they have chocolate chip pancakes!

D-Town for brekie and then New Hope for lunch. Sounds like a plan to me [thumbsup]

 

[sodark]

oh hell yeah, but i will warn you, lunch with me consists of drinking Heineken and smiling and making comments about every betty that walks by...
...nah, i'm not really that bad
