We are happy to report that we have faithfully been getting our share of exercise on our bikes. We drive our bikes in the trunk of our car to Blue Marsh and ride into Reading. Round trip is about 14 miles. Hardcore bikers we are not; there is no spandex involved, and if there are any creatures along the trail we stop to inspect them and offer any assistance. Today we helped a toad with an injury to a rear leg and a bat which seemed to be lost. It was struggling on the floor of a covered bridge making pathetic little squeaks, so it was helped onto a beam of the bridge where it could groggily crawl back to its place with its buddies making sqeaks that I suspect were bat snores and sleep until dusk. People sometimes fall out of bed in their sleep; perhaps this bat fell off its beam while having a bad dream.
