Level D: 8mph, 30 miles. Meet at Azalea Garden's formal entrance, behind the Art Museum.. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. I noticed this event about a local Sculpture Garden and open Showroom. I don't know what this is about but it at least it gives me a destination and maybe a distraction to cycle to. I don't know the route yet but I will try to make it 30 miles even though the location is only 10 miles away. But it will be flat and most likely return passing the International Airport. If KYW is reporting rain outside their studio one hour prior to start, ride cancels. Follow the Facebook link to get an idea of our primary destination. https://facebook.com/events/s/mothers-day-open-showroom-scul/1882389809235714/ Cue sheets will not be available.

Stops on the way back will mimic stops on the way out. Never bike camped? Reach out and let us guide you!! Not sure you have all the equipment you need? Reach out and see who has stuff you can borrow!! Not sure you can do this? We know you can!!! ( and SEPTA is always there as an assist) Cost of both camping sites is $43 which will be divided by those who sign up for the adventure. This is a rain or shine event, so plan accordingly.

Level C-: 10.5-11mph, 14.3 miles. Meet at Blue Bell Park. The ride leaves at 9:30 am. Clearly with this short distance, it is a sight-seeing tour. We will visit Lucretia Mott Way. Who is Lucretia Mott? An abolishionist and suffragist from 1833 until her passing in 1880. There will be a brief lecture on her life and accomplishments in the community of LaMott (named for her in 1885). Next stop will be the Philly Goat Project. There will be goats. You will like them. Then a leisurely return to Blue Bell Park. If you are looking for a powerful training ride, this is not for you. WE WILL PAUSE AT EVERY TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO REGROUP AS NECESSARY. The start time is designed to accommodate the leisurely pace, the sight-seeing, and return to the park in time to help with setup of the Pic-a-nic Lunch. Cue sheets will be available.
