Level C, 13 mph, 25/45 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. Slight change in our route....we were going to ride under the Frankford El, but I just learned that the Philadelphia Navy Yard will be open to the public this Saturday (it is normally closed on Saturdays), so we are going to the Navy Yard! You will enjoy this ride! (We will do the "ride under the El in October.) The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Fall Festival will be taking place at the Navy Yard on Saturday. So whether you are into gardening, battleships or Victorian architecture, this ride will have something of interest for you! There will be food trucks, vendors and lots of interesting things to see. We will ride to the Navy Yard via Delaware Avenue and will stop at Pier 53 - a newly renovated pier park on the river. Pier 53 was the pier on which most early 20th century immigrants entering the country via Philadelphia arrived. The pier was abandoned for years and was just transformed into a park - complete with a boardwalk and observation platform (a work of art called the Land Buoy). Once inside the Navy Yard we will ride around the facility looking at the Victorian architecture, admiral's houses, machine shops, dry docks (did you ever see a dry dock up close?) and mothballed ships. Then we can stop at the Fall Festival and get a bite to eat and check out flowers. You have the option of either starting at my house (39 Lanfair Rd, Cheltenham) from which we will leave at 7:30, or starting at the formal entrance to the Azalea Garden behind the Art Museum from which we will leave at 9:00. The ride will be 45 miles if you leave from my house or 25 miles if you start at the Azalea Garden. We will be back at the Azalea Garden no later than 1:00 and back at my house by 2:00. This is a "C" pace ride (13 mph). No cue sheets. If you are driving to Art Museum, note that there is a big 5k race that starts in front of the Art Museum at 8:00, so you will not be able to find a parking spot near the museum. Your best bet is to either start from my house, or park on Midvale Avenue in East Falls, or park in the public lot on Kelly Drive in East Falls located underneath the twin bridges (Route 1). It's a scenic 4-mile ride along Kelly Drive from East Falls to the Azalea Garden. Cue sheets will not be available.

Level C, 13 mph, 25 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. This ride is a tour of Philadelphia that you won't see from the duck boats or tour buses - a meandering ride through a section of the city not often explored. We will be riding under the Frankford El from Front and Girard up to Bridge Street. Along the way we will stop at some unique and fascinating places - a potpourri of Philadelphia history from the late 1600's to the present. We will leave from the Azalea Garden behind the Art Museum at 9:00 and return by about 1:00. We will stop for a coffee/snack/rest room break midway through the ride at a coffee shop in Frankford. This is a "C" pace ride (13 mph) but it is a challenging ride and is not for the faint-of-heart. You must be comfortable riding on city streets. Make sure your bike is in good mechanical condition as we will not be riding through the nicest part of town. Bring two spare tubes. If you have a flashing rear light - bring it. HELMET REQUIRED! If you are driving to Art Museum, note that there is a 2-hour limit on parking in the lot behind the museum. Your best bet is to park on Sedgley Drive (the road that intersects Kelly Drive at Lloyd Hall) or on Midvale Avenue in East Falls or in the public lot on Kelly Drive in East Falls located underneath the twin bridges (Route 1). It's a scenic 4-mile ride along Kelly Drive from East Falls to the Azalea Garden. Cue sheets will not be available.
