Quest for Bethlehem is a moderate century with one significant climb but otherwise flat to rolling hills. It is scenic with low traffic roads through most of the course. Each time we have ridden this century, it has been right before Christmas with some of us taking the opportunity to get a Bethlehem postmark on our bundles of Christmas cards. Each time we have ridden the century, it has been on a cold rainy day, adding to the challenge but enthusiastically embraced by Puddle, our ride captain, who enjoys riding in the rain. Even so, it has been a great ride. Think how pleasant it could be on a warm Sunny day!
