Level C through D: 9-12mph, 7.7 miles. Meet at 30th Street Station. The ride leaves at 2:15 pm. This is an ad hoc SHOW AND GO city ride aimed at those who miss Philly's big, beautiful TWEED RIDES.

Inside the train station, we'll gather at the North Waiting Room of the station for a quick photo op before setting off. We have heard much about the advantages of wearing Lycra and going fast. This ride will do the opposite; we shall "start off slowly–and then ease up"! Ends at a pub, where there *may* be some SWAG awarded according to an inscrutable points system.
