[DVBC] Doc's ride report 4/18/07

[Larry Green]

First some sun, at last, but then the usual heavy gray clouds, temp >45 
but no other riders.
Doc's ride must go, so off to Delaware. Very little car traffic,  
including  Garnet Mine Road until the top just before Kirk Road when I 
see that the road is roped off with yellow tape and a gigantic tree is 
entirely across the road. I can carry the bike around on the right and 
then carry on. Only after passing did I realize that there were probably 
downed wires and the damp ground might have been electrified even away 
from the wire sided of the road. I'm still here so guess I was lucky.
Explored Centerville, checked out Collier's wine shop, nice lunch at 
Montrachet, Paradoxx
tasting room is moved to Kennett Square.
Thompson Bridge Road climb with heavy water pouring down on the right. 
Traffic lets me keep out of most of the water (Drivers are more savvy in 
Delaware?).
Rest of the ride was uneventful.
50 miles. Good climbs.????grades, feet of climbing????, etc
