Ride Calendar

For Friday, December 1: forecast calls for partial sunshine in the morning. This loop from Flourtown through eastern Montgomery County will get us to the Wawa in Gwynedd for a quick bathroom & coffee/snack break. Outbound via Blue Bell and Ambler, return via Gwynedd and Centre Square. On the return, we have a short-cut option if needed to shave off a couple of miles, if the weather turns damp before we finish. Plan to return by 12:30pm. Total elevation gain 1549 ft, averaging a tame 44 ft/mile. GENERIC DESCRIPTION: Scenic adventures by bike on most Fridays, throughout the year. Explore pretty, peaceful roads in suburban counties -- Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, etc. Starting points will vary, so that we can cycle through different regions. Please check daily calendar for details of each Friday's route -- terrain, mileage, rest stops, etc. If weather conditions are not conducive to cycling, this ride may be replaced by a hike/walk. As long as we are enjoying outdoor exercise, and Mother Nature, in the company of friends, we'll have a memorable outing.

Will regroup if necessary, but riders are expected to maintain the group pace.

I tried this ride last Saturday, but it was cold, quite cold, so we only went as far as Manayunk. So we will try again. Lou's Seb is another name for hoagie.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a convenient way to go between Camden and Burlington counties by foot, bike and wheelchair without worrying about car traffic, all while being able to enjoy multiple parks and the Camden Waterfront along the way? Enter: the aptly named Burlington-Camden Trail. When complete, this trail will span 10 miles, connecting the two counties by way of Petty’s Island, as well as Pennsauken and Merchantville. Thanks to its potential to close a critical gap in the Circuit Trails’ developing 800-mile network, serve a large number of people and ensure greater equity in trail access, the Burlington-Camden Trail has been named a priority project by the Circuit Trails Coalition and Camden County. This multi-modal ride will move north along the East Coast Greenway using the recently opened K&T Trail Extension. The crossing of the Delaware will be via the Tacony-Palmrya Bridge. We'll head towards the newest Circuit Trails and ride a portion of the Burlington-Camden Trail to the lunch stop at Thai Son Vietnamese restaurant, which was the most popular of 7 options in the riders poll.
