Level D: 10mph, 25 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 9:00 am. We have been trying to find coffee shop to cycle to in place of the Riverbend Cafe's closing. Club members have been suggesting 'feine on Fayette St between 8th and 9th Aves. That hill is a discouraging factor in not noticing this alternative! Club members are recommending taking Maple St up the hill! I tried that on Sat. not any better so today's ride will go up the Cross Country Trail to Germantown Pike and down Butler Pike which becomes Fayette St. Let's try it.

Level D: 8-10mph, 30 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 10:00 am. We will be following the Thursday Night hill ride route at a "D" pace. Will regroup at the top of the hills out in the Penn Valley. To start this series, the short version down Mill Creek Rd to River Rd on the west side of the Schuylkill River, Flat Rock, will be done but the humongous hill up out of the river gorge on Hollow Rd, SR 3050 to Hagys Ford Rd can not be avoided. Coffee at Thunder Mug in East Falls towards the end of this ride. Since the purpose of this ride is to introduce D pace riders to hills, there maybe longer waits at the top of these hills than normal. But each week will bring strength. Hope to offer this ride each week thru April. Note the 10 am start. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start, ride cancels. Cue sheets will not be available.

Level D: 8-10mph, 25 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 9:00 am. Cafe Zoe and Pizza, 1100 E Hector St, Conshohocken, PA 19428, might seem like an unlikely coffee stop for a morning bike ride but I am desperate not wanting to climb the so short steep incline of Fayette St in Conshohocken that trying this place might be worth it. We will see! If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio, one hour prior to start, ride cancels. Cue sheets will not be available.
