Strasburg RR and PA Railroad Museum is about 25 minute from where I live. I went to see N&W 611 a few years back.

It's about 20 miles from where I live to the south of me. Remember when we met at the Steamboat Inn to give me that  Rampar saddle for my Raleigh Sprite until I found the original correct padded Brooks saddle for the bike in 2014? I still have that one.

I have a very similar Sprite. I got it from one of the local English club guys, needing some work, for my kid to ride when the Little Colt That Could just got to be too small for him during one of his growth spurts. It has been a three speed, a five speed, and is now back to three, as I needed a 36 hole hub to lace up a new 27" wheel for it.

We have had a ton of fun on this old bike! Both my son and I have ridden it on The three speed tour.
