Green course 4.3 km, 150m climb by Bob Gross. About 78 at start with a breeze so not bad except for the humidity.
Fine through the first 5, then missed 6 and 7 off to one side or the other. Fine to 8, then exited wrong and went a short way in the wrong direction on the road before checking my compass and correcting. Found the right trails to 9, and set my compass to 10 and swore silently as it was a short leg (250m or so) up 4 contours on a boulder-strewn hillside to a big rock (I picked the wrong one) and then back down to the finish. My Halo sweatband-hat was dripping when I finished.
But I had fun (except for #10) and got to chat with the MacMullans. :-)

Ironton Rail Trail in Whitehall, Coplay, and Hokendaqua. Temp about 78 to start, 82 when we finished, mostly sunny. Nice trail with pavement on most of it and gravel on the west end.
Longest ride so far (distance); left foot started to get numb in the last few km.

Around 80F and partly cloudy.
Around neighborhoods, making wrong turns, but eventually made it safely to Starbucks at Promenade Shops. After I consume my beverage, I'll head home a more direct way (but not the fastest-by-car, which involves a dicey Rt 309 crossing... not pedestrian-friendly, either).
Some of this was on a gravel trail that was a bit soft and wet in places but I made it through. Had to lift the bike over a gate near Rt 378.

Promenade Shops to Rt 309, where my chain came off the front gear....

I walked it across the road, and partway down Chestnut, until I met a man on a bike who asked what was up, and was able to show me how to get the chain back on the gear...
