Rolling terrain, with a few brisk climbs, but we will stop to regroup as needed. Total climbing is 1877 ft. No one dropped. Short indoor rest break at mile 17.

Level C+/B-, 13-15 mph, 30+/- miles. Meet at Bruno's, Northwestern and Germantown Aves. The ride leaves at 1:21 pm. Scenic, 30-ish mile loop, usually through Montgomery County or Lower Bucks, with a brief rest stop. Unless otherwise stated, afternoon ride will meet at Bruno's (finishing point for many of the Sunday morning Wissahickon hikes). Even if you don't join the hike in the morning, you are welcome to ride with us! We will stop to regroup as needed, but try as much as possible to maintain 13-15, due to short daylight. Plan is to get back before 5:00pm. Please bring lights, just in case we return in the nick of time. Please ensure that your bike is ready before start time, so that we can leave promptly. Specific details will be posted for each Sunday's Route. Scheduled for EVERY Sunday throughout the winter, weather permitting, EXCEPT Feb. 24 (Leader will be away 2/24). This ride will resume on March 3. Cue sheets will be available.
