Level C, 12 mph, 15/35 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. Philadelphia is a treasure trove of beautiful architecture. There are many old buildings in the city that are truly works of art - amazing sculptures hidden in plain view. The problem is that we are usually too busy to stop and look up. On this ride we will stop - and look up! We will visit about a dozen diverse, quirky and interesting buildings - most over 100 years old. We'll learn not only about the buildings and architects who designed them, but also a bit about the history of Philadelphia. You have the option of either starting at my house at 39 Lanfair Road, Cheltenham (where we will be leaving at 8:00) or meeting us at the entrance to the Azalea Garden behind the Art Museum (leaving at 9:00). The ride to and from my house will be about 35 miles. If you start at the Azalea Garden, the ride will be about 15 miles. We should be back at the Azalea Garden by noon and back my house by 1:30. Bring snacks and plenty of water - it's going to be a beautiful day! The ride through center city will be flat, but the ride to and from my house will have a couple hills (Midvale Avenue), so be prepared for a bit of climbing if you start at my house. The ride will be at a leisurely pace and we will be making plenty of stops. No cue sheets. HELMET REQUIRED! You must be comfortable riding on city streets. Make sure that your bike is in good working order and bring along a spare tube (or two). If you have any questions or need directions to my house, email me or call. Cue sheets will not be available.

Level B/B-, 13-14 mph, 71 miles. D&R trailhead parking lot in Frenchtown, NJ. The ride leaves at 8:45 am. A slightly shorter version of the gorgeous ride I led back on May 18th (see that description) in preparation for next week's ride to Brooklyn.

Everything else remains the same, including the descents of Hollow and Brass Castle. Lunch in Belividere, with its Victorian homes, at mile 37. Only one additional water stop is planned (another may be added if conditions warrant) so bring Gu, Cliff Bars or whatever gets you through. Periodic regrouping at key locations. Bad weather, including rain or excessive heat, cancels. Check this listing for a go/no-go message after 6:30 a.m. the day of. This ride will start on time so arrive at least 15 min. before the scheduled start time. I guarantee this ride is worth the early wake-up. Cue sheets will be available.

We'll keep a steady pace and effort but, as necessary, will wait to regroup. There will be some hills to climb on the ride and in order for the average speed to be 13-14 mph sometimes we will be going faster than 14 mph. Bring money for a snack at Whole Foods. Wet roads or rain at 8:00 AM or over 50% forecast for rain between 8:00 and noon cancel ride. Check the web site for up-to-date information. Cue sheets will be available.
