This riding season started with a ride to the Ringing Rocks in Bucks County with Kick Stands Up.The ringing rocks are a field of boulders that when you strike them with a hammer, they sound as if they are metal and hollow and ring with a sound similar to a metal pipe being struck. Besides the strange ringing of the stones, there are other mysteries surrounding this park. One odd thing about the park is that most boulder fields are the result of an 
avalanche from a mountainside collapsing. This boulder field is towards the top of the hill, not the bottom. That means it didn't result from a rock slide. There is also no evidence to suggest that these were dropped here by a glacier as glaciers were not thought to have come this far south. How did this boulder field get to be like this? No one seemed to know the answer. Oh well, guess I'll google that question!

hot dogs. It turned out to be a nice day of riding.
