Ride Calendar

  Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park

  9:00 am

Level D: 10-11.5mph Distance: 25 miles

Note the START TIME Change. We will ride up the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware on the Delaware River Trail and the K&T Trail with a stop at T&J’s Deli at Richmond and Pratt Streets in Bridesburg to buy sandwiches for our lunches. T&J is the King of Sandwiches (they say so themselves). Be sure to bring a knapsack, backpack, or pannier to carry your lunch while you bike another couple of miles to our picnic stop. Bring money for your sandwich and drink, plus helmets and other cycling necessities, of course. This is short ride in mileage, but it will include a long WALK across the Tacony Palmyra Bridge which has a narrow walkway where riding is not permitted. Our reward for walking will be the pretty Palmyra Nature Center at the foot of the bridge on the NJ side, where we will sit down and eat our picnic lunches and enjoy the views. Those who wish can even take a nature walk around the grounds or visit the exhibits inside the Nature Center Headquarters before we head back southward on the New Jersey side of the river for our return across the the Ben Franklin Bridge. Cue sheets will not be available.
