Level C+: 13mph, 63 miles. Meet at Italian Fountain behind the Art Museum. The ride leaves at 9:30 am. Rolling to KoP with a stop at Wegman’s. If I take a wrong turn within Valley Forge, which is highly likely, it will bump up the mileage from 58 to 63 and you’ll probably get hungry on the way back so bring a snack that you can eat at the same time as riding. We will regroup as needed, but riders are expected to ride group pace because we don’t want to send you home on a train. Bring food or money for the stop at Wegman’s, as well as a spare tube, tire irons and multi-tool. Tubeless tire riders be forewarned that the longest we will wait for you to fix your flat is 10 minutes, otherwise it’s not fair to the rest of the group. Ride may be canceled up to an hour before the start so check back here. Cue sheets will not be available. The on-line route map is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48794961.

Two events - revolutionary reenactment at Red Bank Battlefield and last tour of the year at Tinicum Rear Range Lighthouse in Paulsboro, NJ. We’ll head over Ben Franklin Bridge, then head to the river path to bypass part of Camden. Bring some food for a picnic at Red Bank or grab something at the convenience store close by where we can stop. There will be venders and food at battlefield as well. We’ll stay at least an hour to allow time to see reenactment at 11:30 and/or tour the house and medicinal garden. Tinicum Rear Range lighthouse is 6 miles further - tours from noon to 4 - donations requested. Lyn and I rode this route on a Saturday and it was pretty tranquil. There is a traffic circle or 2 which is the least tranquil part of the ride. I’m guessing we’ll get back to Cosmic around 4.
