Ride Calendar

86th Anniversary Commemorative Century Ride minus two years. Come celebrate this historic fountain's history by cycling 1,000 times around the outer edge of the circle. Cars will be banded from the route all day so the century course will not be impeded. There will be one official century ride marshal for the official count of the revolutions. There will be not sweep. The sag and mechanical help will be at the formal entrance of the Azalea Garden. The official food during the ride will be bagels to keep in the tradition of the oval ride and pizza will be served after the ride in the Italian tradition to anyone who shows up. The route will not be marked due to Fairmont Park restrictions. The water stop will be the fountain itself. For the first time since it was turned off, it will be turned on for this special commemorative century ride. This is entirely new route from last year's clockwise route! The entrance fee is one cent for every revolution of the official course. All fees collected will be donated to the Philadelphia Fountain Society for restoration of the Italian Fountain in perpetuity.

Join us getting some early spring miles AND performing some civic duty (BCP is an Adopt-A-Highway sponsor for a stretch of Yellow Springs Rd. outside of Valley Forge Nat'l Park). Note that we are starting from the park on W. Mill Rd. once again. Quick bathroom break at BetzwoodVFNP before starting the clean-up (will be less than an hour). Refreshments, snacks, gloves, vests and bags will be provided, as will 2 paces.

For our final "winter ride", we will do the Sunday route to Hennings Mkt. in Harleysville. After a quick water break, we will then do another 18 mile loop through northern Montgomery County, returning to Hennings for a longer "lunch" stop. Anyone that isn't yet ready for 53 miles has the option of not doing the extra loop by returning to Valley Forge after the first Hennings stop, making for a 35 mile route.

Come out & join the Adopt-a-Highway clean-up crew. (There is a B-/C+ bike ride to & from the clean-up, leaving at 9:00am from Ft. Washington. This ride is on the calendar.) Snacks/ refreshments will be provided. The clean-up lasts about one hour. We assign teams of two to cover each of the four sections. We walk along Yellow Springs rd. and pick up by hand. It is a well maintained road, much loved by cyclists. Your club keeps it clean and you can help. We have gloves, bags and road-safety vests for everyone. If you don't want to ride but you do want to help with the clean-up, please call or email a leader in advance to confirm.
