Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

About

Hello. I am RC with Highland Trails. I have recently moved my bikes to Northern Pennsylvania to hangout and ride the wicked roads here. The curves and beauty make this part of the country a blast to ride, though the curves can catch you off guard. There are more miles of winding, well kept dirt road than anywhere I have been. Just north are the Finger Lakes and wine country. Farther north are the Adirondack Mountains, which is home to the largest state park in the lower 48. There are also more lakes here than I can count. I've ridden the West for 30 years and liked it, I've ridden the east and loved it. One last note, the food in these smaller towns is worth the trip alone! Come ride.
