Please check daily calendar for details of each Friday's route -- terrain, mileage, rest stops, etc. Cue sheets and on-line route map will be provided for each ride. If weather conditions are not conducive to cycling, this ride may be replaced by a hike/walk (on foot). As long as we are enjoying outdoor physical exercise, and Mother Nature, in the company of friends, we'll have a memorable outing.

After the short climb out of Mount Gretna, the way back will be noticeably easier and will include a brief water stop. Stock up on fresh produce, Amish goodies, and baked goods after the ride. Anyone wanting to ride a slower pace and/or do fewer miles can opt for a self-guided (after mile 21.3), less hilly 48 mile route which skips Mt. Gretna. We will start PROMPTLY AT 8:30 (no exceptions), so please plan to arrive by 8:15. If you get ahead or fall behind you will need to be able to follow the cue sheet. If it's your first time doing this ride, please contact leader by evening of Friday, June 1 with questions re. driving directions or parking. Bad weather, including extreme heat, will cancel. A go/no-go message will be added to this listing by 6:30 a.m. if the weather is questionable. HEAT ADVISORY: Although this route is LOVELY, we will have limited amounts of shade.

* Registration Full, Capacity reached. * We are upping our game from last month's one over night bike camping. This month's tour will be three days - Sat, Sun, & Mon, two nights - Parvin Sate Park and Atsion Lake in South Jersey. So bring two sets of change in cycle wear along with your tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad. A rear rack that carries a set of panniers with the above stuff along with toiletries, a towel, camp wear. If you have a small camp stove but not required, bring that because we will be doing camping meals the two nights and morning breakfasts. Dress to the weather, a wind breaker, warmer jacket, cycling tights, rain gear. We will assemble at the usual place behind the Philadelphia museum. We will take the PATCO Highspeed Line to Camden because of the three flights of steps on the Ben Franklin Bridge, returning Monday over the Tacony Palmya Bridge. I recommend you take the Regional Rail Lines into Philadelphia, boarding at a handicap equipped station. That eliminates car parking for two nights on the street or in a parking facility.
