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.
