    Level C: 12mph, 25 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. It is time for some lovely SE Asian food, down at FDR park. Let's first ride out to Swarthmore and then meander our way back to South Philly's FDR park ( aka the Lakes, for us old school folks) to grab lunch at the SE Asian market. We won't really stop in Swarthmore unless folks need to use the bathroom, so that we can be at the market by 11:30/12:00 before it gets too hot and too crowded. Most of the vendors are cash only so plan accordingly. Route ends at FDR park, so that people can leave when they want, but if you need help getting back to the Art Museum, happy to provide guidance. Check back on Thursday for finalized route as I work out a few details. Cue sheets will not be available. The on-line route map is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47676751.
