Level D: 10mph, 25 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 10:00 am. Two weeks ago, instead of the listed ride, with the agreement of the whole group, we went on an exploratory ride to see if Mill Creek Road was open at Flat Rock Park, which it was. So, when we reached the boat landing, we went back up the challenging Hollow Road through West Laurel Hill Cemetsary and down to the Landing Kitchen for lunch. This week, I am announcing it. We'll repeat the ride from two weeks ago. In case of inclement weather, I will cancel the ride by 9 AM. If the ride is not canceled, it is going. Unsure? Text or call me. Cue sheets will not be available.

Levels A-/B+: 16-17mph, B-: 13-14mph, C+/C: 12-13mph, 44 miles. Meet at Central Park, Doylestown. The ride leaves at 10:00 am. Bring yer bike & sense of adventure. Today's ride will head to the C'est La Vie Bakery in New Hope (mile 29 - bring your appetite). Early rest stop on the way out at Hansell Park (mile 18 - water and bathrooms). Expect good company and a very scenic route on lots of safe/low trafficked roads. Its an overall relatively hilly ride (56 feet/mile per RWGPS), BUT there's not much in steep hills, just lots of rolling hills, some longer than others, which does add up. Will regroup as needed, particularly at the top of hills and intersections, but must be able to maintain the posted pace. Must also be willing to ride safely, obey traffic laws and follow BCP's cover-19 measures: .https://phillybikeclub.org/bcp_covid_19_rider_guidelines.pdf.Check day of the ride if weather is iffy (rain cancels).
