Ride Calendar

This is being written after a great warm Sunday in February, so lets hope we get some more in March. The ride will go to either Bucks or Montgomery County depending on the weather and how I feel that morning. Group stays together and there will be an indoor rest stop if it is cold outside and if warmer a WaWa or someplace like that. Some hills, no killers, no one dropped, wait for the ride leader at the top of hills. Rain or temps below 25 at start time cancels. Call if unsure if ride is on.

Join us as we meander through the scenic Wissahickon Gorge, historic Mt. Airy, and Chestnut Hill. Meet at the Allens Lane R8 Train Station at Cresheim Rd. and Allens Lane in Mt. Airy. Optional lunch after at the Brunos.

A relatively short , not too challenging ride for early in the season. Destination is Crossroads Plaza in Richboro with a number of food options (mile 20). I plan to extend this ride further into Bucks County in later months. Call if weather or road conditions are questionable

See weekly rides for details. Show and go or look for an ad-hoc ride.

A friendly C ride, usually 25-35 miles usually with a lunch or snack stop.

See Weekly Rides for details.

Usually leave about 10:00 AM. Brunch stop. Dependent on weather - above freezing, no ice or snow, etc. Must call for starting place, destination, etc. or no ride.

This ride leaves from the Italian Fountain at *10:00am* and heads to Plymouth or Ambler. We'll try to keep a steady pace and effort (rolling speed on flat terrain). Bring money for a snack. Rafael or Tom L are in charge if either show. It looks like it will be a nice day for a ride.

Join us as we take advantage of a nice weather forecast and ride towards Doylestown. We'll head back a bit before Doylestown and stop at Whole Foods in North Wales/Montgomeryville for a quick bite. An easy pace suited for those of us who have not been on our bikes much or at all. No cue, as we'll ride as a group and enjoy each others company. Will regroup as needed. Generally flat to rolling.

Swarthmore is a college town in the southwestern suburbs with a strong Quaker influence. The houses are large and old, and the plantings are green, even in winter.Our destination for today is the Happy Wok, featuring thirty-one specials at $4.75. You can also choose from: a deli, a pizzeria, or a family restaurant. This will be a slow ride. Going out, there will be a few ups and downs, but not hilly. Returning will be almost flat.

We'll hike about 4-5 miles on the trails of the beautiful Wissahickon gorge, plus a mile or two through historic Chestnut Hill. Join us following the hike for a season ending get together at Howard's house (1/2 block from train station). If you are really ambitious and antsy to ride, we'll also do a short ride (15-25 miles) after eating (rolling terrain with some hills). You can store your bike in my garage. Email or call Howard if you need directions.

Class C, 36 miles +/-. Expect a few little hills, but not many, we will stop to regroup when necessary. We will depart promptly at 10 AM, remember this is the first day of DST, from the Kohl's parking lot at rt. 73 and 202 in Blue Bell, the section of the parking lot directly across the street from the Centre Square Fire Company. Bring H2O, $,we go in cold weather but not rain or snow. No Calls = No Ride. Leader Len Langsdorf, home 610-278-0589, cell 610-564-6808.

This Sunday should be lovely day for a bike ride. For casual and new riders. Nobody dropped. Some riding instructions and suggestions available. I plan to go to Narberth, which involves some hill climbing on the way out. The return is downhill and then flat. Snack stop in the middle of the ride. If the consensus is for a flatter ride, I will accommodate. Call or email me, if you plan to attend. No calls/email, no ride.

A friendly C ride, usually 25-35 miles and usually with a lunch or snack stop.
