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. Cue sheets and on-line route map will be provided for each ride. If weather conditions are not conducive to cycling, this ride may be replaced by a hike/walk (on foot).

Hike hike, 4-6 miles. Meet at Bruno's, Northwestern and Germantown Aves. The hike leaves at 9:30 am. Join us for a gentler hike in the beautiful Wissahickon Gorge of Fairmount Park. For those who think our usual hikes in the Wissahickon are too fast or too difficult, try this hike out. We will hike more slowly and avoid some of the steepest hills, at least to start with. Maybe we will learn some history too!. Hiking shoes or boots make hiking easier. Well behaved, leashed canine friends are welcome. If you need an even flatter route at some point, we will direct you to Forbidden Drive. We'll have to wait til Sunday, Nov.19 to celebrate the beginning of the hike season at a party at our house. See the listing for the party for details.

Hike Nope, there will be hills, 2-3 mph, 6-7 miles. Meet at Bruno's, Northwestern and Germantown Aves. The hike leaves at 9:30 am. Chris McCandless was a young man disaffected with his family and civilization in general. He met his demise while living as a hermit in an abandoned school bus/cabin in the wilderness of Alaska. He was the subject of Jon Krakauer's book Into the Wild and a movie of the same name. McCandless has been praised as a man of the highest integrity setting an example of how to live left without unsavory aspects of modern society. He has also been discredited as a young man unable to cope with the simple imperfections of human nature. I am sure the 'truth' is both, neither and mixture. The most practical lesson from his death is be extremely careful about selecting which wild plants to consume. McCandless made a serious identification error and ended up eating a poisonous root while miles from the nearest help. Fortunately, Debbie and Jim are hosting a delicious lunch for us after the hike so please don't eat any vegetation along the trail! Please join Helen and I for a pleasant walk in the woods of the Wissahickon Gorge. Since this is the first hike for the season, we will try to keep the pace and distance on the lighter side. Well-behaved four leggers welcome. Cue sheets will not be available.
