PA Covered Bridges Run
I have put together a Spyder Run that goes to 16 covered bridges in Eastern PA (Bucks County and Lehigh Valley)
I was thinking about making the run on Saturday, 3 October. Thought we could start with breakfast at Pat's Colonial Kitchen in Newtown PA which is close to the first bridge in Tyler State Park. From there, we head toward a bridge near Washington Crossing State Park and up River Road to six more bridges in Tinicum Township.
Thought we could stop for lunch at the Oak's Family Restaurant in Pipersville or Przyuski's in Ottsville,
From there we head toward Allentown, stopping at Knecht's Bridge near Pleasant Valley, where there are 5 more bridges.
Finally we head south to Perkasie and, finally, end up in New Britain near Doylestown.
Looks to be about 4.5 hours but with stops you can pretty much figure on a pretty full day.
Anyone interested?

If it were any other Saturday, we'd be there. We've talked of doing the Covered Bridges of Madison County. Never knew that PA also that them.

Bridge tour
I live in Macungie outside of Allentown, how long to get to starting point? My wife and I would really like to do this with other Spyder ryders. Need to know how early we need to get up to make it to Breakfest or just meet up with you when you get to Allentown. Thanks for the information. What time to meet in the morning?

It's approx 1.5 hours from Macungie to Newtown. Was thinking of meeting there at 9 AM which means you'd have to leave at 7:30 AM

Sounds like a fun time
Count me in, I live 5 minutes from Newtown ,Pa.
There's parking on the street or in the back of Pat's in their parking lot. If there isn't enough space then park behind the Star Bucks which is on the corner at the light.
You'll love driving River Road and going through New Hope, Pa.

I grew up in Point Pleasant and my parents ran a gift shop in New Hope. LOVE the area but disturbed at the amount of new housing in the last several years.

No Issue Irish on the new housing.... Every couple of years the Delaware shows them who is really in charge.
Next time on River road look at the high water marks ...

Which gift shop did they own?
And we can always take the Spyders to Point Pleasant for a trip down the Delaware

Tell me about it..did you see what happen to River Road up in Narrowsville...wiped out the road, and the trees on the islands looked as if a atomic bomb went off and everything was leaning to the right.

I was 12 when the flood hit in '55...the highest watermark. Worked with the fire department evacuating people and moving furniture to higher floors (to no avail). Used me as a ruler...when the water reached my shoulders, it was time to move out. I was on the Pt Pleasant bridge went it went taking the two lost spans 1/4 mile down river. Never rebuilt it
