4+ hours of fun. Old member or new, take this midwinter opportunity to celebrate the past year of riding and to kick off the 2010 season, while honoring our friends who volunteer to make our club so successful. Check out our Banquet location, the popular Manayunk Brewery, the loft of a historic wool and cotton mill. The evening will begin with a cocktail/hors d'oeuvres hour from 6-7 [cash bar], followed by dinner at 7, then awards and election of our Board of Directors. We anticipate an evening of camaraderie and great food, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian selections, unique surroundings, warmed by music. You get all of this for just $30/person.

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.

Due to snow storm on Friday & Saturday, the hike is cancelled. If you have cross-country skis, and/or snow shoes, meet us at Bruno's on Northwestern Ave., since Northwestern Ave. will most likely be plowed & salted. We will ski and/or snow shoe south on Forbidden Drive, then reverse & return to Northwestern. Distance to be determined by the group's comfort level -- depth of snow and grooming conditions on Forbidden Drive are key factors. Optional lunch stop at Bruno's afterward. Please note: Meeting time delayed by two hours (11:30), to give participants extra time to shovel their driveways & to drive as slowly as road conditions require.

It is clear that the roads will not be good for riding on Sunday. Food stop at Whole Foods Market in Devon. Cue sheets provided. Terrain is flat to rolling hills with three or four moderate climbs. Call if the weather is questionable. For route see http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=685313

If you'd like to enjoy the fun side of snow storms, let's do some cross-country skiing (&/or snow shoeing, if you've got those, instead), while we still have plenty of snow. There is a parking lot across from the meeting point (bird-watching deck). Map of the state park is available at www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/fortwashington/fortwashington_mini.pdf. If coming from Stenton Ave, turn north on Joshua Rd. Before the steep uphill on Joshua, turn right into the park at the entrance for Militia Hill picnic area, then bear left on the park driveway toward the bird-watching area. If approaching from Skippack Pike/PA-73, turn south onto Militia Hill Rd (3-way intersection), then quick left into the park. Follow this park road up a long, gradual climb. Hope to enjoy your company on Saturday!

Optional lunch stop afterward at Bruno's (or another eatery, if folks would like try another place). Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Bring your well-behaved friends (both the two-legged and four legged variety) for this tour of the lower Wissahickon Valley. Will we see Hermit's Cave? How about the Ten Box? Come on out to find out!

We are doing this event as a hike or bike. Condition of the roads will determine what we do. Same meeting place and time. Bring bike and hiking gear. We get some outdoor exercise either way. Route goes through King of Prussia and Upper Merion, crosses the Schuylkill River and continues up the Cross County Trail (paved) to stop for refueling and warming at IKEA. After a tasty interlude (Swedish meatballs?) we remount and spin under Ridge Pike, across the end of the Metroplex shopping center, to the Schuylkill River Trail. At Betzwood we cross the river on the boardwalk and then wind our back to Chesterbrook. Expect a few hills. No one dropped. Cue sheets provided. Bring a lock, snack, beverage & $. A multi-club ride. In the event of weather concerns, or for directions, contact leaders. NO CALLS = NO RIDE!
