CLEATOR-GALBRAITH IN ONE DAY

In a move that impressed absolutely no one save for himself, area boy Mike McQuaide today rode his bike to the top of Cleator Road. Declaring that not to be enough, he then headed for Galbraith Mountain and rode to the top of the Tower Road. He then made it back in time to pick up Bake at school with a quick stop at Starbucks on the way. Total stats: 41 miles, 4,800 feet elevation gain.

Above, the sun finally breaks through the fog. Below, a huge washout from the recent floods, about halfway up Cleator Road.
