Level C / C+, 13 mph, 26 miles. 39 Lanfair Rd, Cheltenham PA. The ride leaves at 7:15 am. Imagine if Philadelphia had a 10-mile long bicycle superhighway running north-south, from one end of the city to the other - with no cars, and with police officers on every corner between Olney Avenue and the Navy Yard. Well, on Sunday morning May 4 it will! Experience bicycle nirvana as we ride down Broad Street one hour prior to the start of the Broad Street Run. The race begins at 8:30am. This flat 26-mile ride will leave my house at 7:15am. (I live 3 miles from the start line.) We will ride down Broad Street to the Navy Yard and then turn around. On our way back we will stop and watch the runners go by and then continue the return ride north. (It takes an hour for the runners to go by. So we can get a cup of coffee have something to eat while cheering them on - and if we get impatient we have the option of detouring north via 13th street. We will play it by ear.) In the past, Broad Street remained closed long after the last runner went by - so we should have all Broad Street completely to ourselves on the way back. This ride is wonderfully scenic - with beautiful murals and some interesting architecture along the way. And with 35,000 runners scheduled to run down Broad Street, I'll bet the potholes will even be filled! We will ride at a C+ pace (about 13mph). No one will be dropped. If you'd like, you can crank up the pace down to the Navy Yard if you want to put on some extra miles - and then circle back to the group. We will be stopping now and then - and with several hundred port-o-potties along the way there will be plenty of places to take bathroom breaks. I'm not sure what the security rules will be, so don't bring backpacks or big saddle bags on your bike. Email me or call if you have questions. Be at my house by 7:00am so that we can leave promptly at 7:15. We will be back at my house before noon. You must wear a helmet. Bring money for snacks, water and a spare tube or two - and know how to fix a flat. Rain, or the threat of rain cancels the ride. Call me if you're not sure. Cue sheets will not be available.

Level D, 10 mph, 40 miles. Elm Street Station of the Manayunk/Norristown Regional Rail Line. The ride leaves at 9:30 am. I have an old rag tagged, falling apart Greater Philadelphia Bicycle Map, Official Map of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia which shows the future and competed portions of the Chester Valley Tail. Well, those future sections have been completed, the map must be 20 years old! So let's see reality and ride it from King of Prussia to Exton and back? Thanks to the Bicycle Coalition, Chester County Planning commission, all the municipalities this trail traverses, and the many, many volunteer advocates who have persevered over these 20 years, finally these sections have been completed. This is a very important bike trail because it is envisioned to go to Downingtown and Coatesville! I see it going farther West to Lancaster! Imagine cyclists being able to bicycle form CC Phila, to the Pennsylvanian Dutch Country on a bike trail. Just as you can imgine cycling to head warters of the Schuylkill River above Pottsville on the Schuylkill River Trail. If this isn't reason enough to join the Bicycle Coalition, then I don't what is! I am starting this ride at the Elm Street Station of the Manayunk/Norristown Regenal Rail lline becuase the ride would be too long form Philly. Catch the Train Number 202 on the Saturday schedule.

One quick water stop at mile 23 and a lunch counter lunch at friendly Higbee's at mile 48. Cue sheets will be provided for those who want to set their own paces. Email for directions to the start by noon on Friday. This ride will start on time so plan your arrival accordingly (i.e., at least 15 min. before the scheduled start time), factoring in time for any needed restroom visit as there are none at the start. Check this listing for a gon'no-go messageby 6:30 a.m. if the weather is questionable. Fresh, local strawberries should be available for purchase up the road from the start/finish.
