While not particularly challenging, this is more than "a walk in the park" and is not recommended as a first hike. Please bring sturdy footwear as the trail can be rocky and we will be rock hopping across a small stream on the way down. Dressing in layers and a daypack with snacks/lunch and a water bottle are highly recommended.

Level C+ and B, 13.5 +/- and 16 +/- mph, 38 miles. Meet at Upper Dublin High School. The ride leaves at 10:00 am. Bring yer bike and sense of adventure. Some days we'll ride familiar favorite routes, other days we'll scope out new routes. Today we'll keep the distance relatively short due to forecasted chilly temps and windy conditions (can shorten it a bit more if that's the consensus). We'll ride to Skippack, stopping at one of a number of possibilities (Wawa, Italian Market, Pizza - group decision). Generally rolling hills on mostly back roads, with some not tough hills thrown in. No one dropped, but please be able to maintain the listed average pace. Check day of the ride if weather is iffy (rain cancels). Cue sheets will not be available.
