Return on Torresdale Bike Lane and, after a bunch of turns, we take the DRT south from Penn Treaty Park, and back to the start or to home, as you wish.

No rain means a ride. Easy spin on the SRT starting at Jacobs Engineering and heading west to Pawlings and beyond, returning at or just before sunset.

For April 4: Easy, mostly flat ride on the Schuylkill River Trail and Chester Valley Trail, between Spring Mill and Wegman's in Exton. Stop at the mid-way point at Wegman's for coffee/snack. Leader is recovering from wrist fracture & surgery, so this ride will be a gentle progression from riding a recumbent trike to returning to two wheels. Route is an easy out-and-back on trails. Some mild elevation on the Chester Valley Trail, but no higher than 290 ft. Total elevation gain is 1120 ft, averaging 32 ft/mile - that's pretty tame.
