Level C: 12mph, 35 miles. Meet at Foot of Ben Franklin Bridge. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. Last time we went to Bordentown it was in the 90s so let's see how we do if the temps are more moderate. We will ride out to Bordentown, NJ get some lunch and see if the Bordentown Creamery is still open for a sweet treat. Return via the Riverline which drops off at the Rutgers Camden campus and then we can ride back across the bridge. If you want to ride on to Trenton and catch Septa home, that is an option. Alternatively you can ride home or ride part way and take the RiverLine part way. Bring a bungee for the train. The Riverline runs every 20 minutes and can take 6 bikers at a time, so if there are more than 6 of us we will have to split up into two groups. If you are riding on to Trenton please note that after Bordentown you are on a canal path. NB the posted route map goes all the way to Princeton Jct. The road is fully paved until Bordentown. If Tropical Storm Ian results in rain, I will cancel Saturday at 8 am Cue sheets will not be available. The on-line route map is Philadelphia to PrincetonJct Train station NJ side.
