Covered Bridge tour
I'm very familiar with the roads on the beginning/eastern half of that route, and there are quite a few good roads they're skipping over on that part. I find a good amount of those roads to be better on a bike than a car due to how narrow they can get. Some are also quite bumpy, so the lowered guys would be leaving shavings of their car behind. 
The Uhlerstown Hill road is seriously a tiny strip of one-car-wide bumpy asphalt on the side of a hill with a steep dropoff on one side. I don't know what you'd do if there was one car going up and one going down at the same time... somebody would be driving that hill in reverse.
It's a neat little climb though.

Ok, sounds like we have enough interest to make this happen. I am away on vacation from 9/25-10/8, so lets get a date settled.
The calendar for DelVal looks open for most of October, so throw me some ideas which date works best for you. I would suggest closer to the beginning of the month to have the best top down weather possible. The fall foliage forecast says southeastern PA should start turning after the first week.

It's a neat little climb though. I did it on my streetbike all the time but first time in the car was kinda brutal haha. I'm pretty low and that road isnt very forgiving. It's VERY nice once you make it up the hill and head towards Van Sant airport tho.
We could always u-turn after the Uhlerstown Hill road bridge, drive down to the Erwinna covered bridge and do another u-turn.
You guys are the experts; if you think the S cannot make it, I do not want to get stuck up there.
