Level B-: 14mph Distance: 48 miles
This scenic route through southern Delaware County & eastern Chester County is a revival of a holiday-themed ride from "back in the day", when Bob Paradise was President of BCP. Pretty (but hilly) loop to and from Longwood Gardens, which is decorated to the hilt for Christmas. In order to keep moving, we will NOT be doing the indoor Xmas show at Longwood - we will just make a quick stop to admire the outdoor decorations. On the outbound, we have a quick Wawa break if needed at mile 13. At mile 22, we can stop for lunch at Northbrook Orchards Market. After Longwood Gardens, there's a Wawa stop if needed at mile 36 on the return. This route will take us through part of Ridley Creek State Park, past Cheyney University, and some peaceful stretches along Creek Rd. Rolling to hilly terrain with total elevation gain of 3989 feet. We will stop to regroup as needed. No one dropped, but we will try to maintain 13mph average, as advertised. Please click on the route map link below to preview the route, as well as the elevation (climbing) profile. The meeting point (Rose Tree Park in Media) is accessible via the Blue Route to the US-1 Bypass. Co-Leader Welcome: if you would like to lead this route at an alternative pace, please contact LMc. Thank you! Cue sheets will be available. The on-line route map is http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3668899. 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. Cue sheets and on-line route map provided for each ride. If weather conditions are not conducive to cycling, this ride may be replaced by a hike/walk, or snow activity. As long as we are enjoying outdoor exercise, and Mother Nature, in the company of friends, we'll have a memorable outing. Cue sheets will be available.
