Depending on the temp today the ride will have either an indoor food stop or outside at a convenience store. I do not know the route yet though there will be a few hills, some flats, and some down hills. No one dropped. Come out to see where we will go. Wet roads or temps below 25 at the start cancel. Call if unsure ride is on.

Meet every Saturday thru March for a ride from Valley Forge to Kimberton. Indoor coffee break at the Kimberton Wholefoods. Plan is to be back in VF by noon.

Meet every Sunday thru March for a ride from Valley Forge to Harleysville. Indoor coffee break at the Hennings Market in Harleysville. Plan is to be back in VF by noon.

We will be hiking mostly on trails, but there will be shorter and flatter options available, if desired. Well behaved dogs and friends welcome. Optional lunch at Brunos afterward.

See Weekly Rides for details. Show and go or look for an ad-hoc ride.

A true C ride which cheerfully waits to regroup. Usually 25-35 miles with a lunch or snack stop. Special this week, Anthony's birthday!

For those in BCP who enjoy "having their cake AND eating, too" (hiking + cycling), this ride will leave from Bruno's on Sunday afternoon, following the Wissahickon hike. We'll meet at 1:30pm, and leave on the ride no later than 1:45pm. This should allow the "hiker-bikers" sufficient time to have some lunch (bowl of soup would be quick & easy). The route is a 25-mile loop to/from the Whole Foods in North Wales. We will take a brief, indoor rest break at Whole Foods. Terrain is mostly flat-to-rolling, but there are a few climbs, e.g., Camp Hill Road in Fort Washington. We will stop to regroup as needed. Cue sheets will be provided. In case we have any mechanical delays (let's hope not), please consider bringing lights with you, in case we get close to dusk on the return trip. If anyone would like to co-lead with me, thank you -- I'd love your company.
