Level D: 10.5-11.5mph, 30 miles. Meet at Cosmic Cafe, Lloyd Hall, # 1 Boathouse Row, Kelly Dr, East Fairmount Park . The ride leaves at 10:00 am. Pretty Flat Thursday Ride. Not to compete with the hill riders on this sunny Thursday, but if you are in the mood for a few flat miles, plus a good lunch, come out to Cosmic Cafe by 10:00 to ride to Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe on the Delaware. Maggie’s has outdoor seating, and it promises to be a sunny day. Perhaps we will be warmed up after riding about 15 miles across town and up the river trails, and we will want to sit outside. Otherwise, we will go indoors, still with a view across the river, to order from Maggie’s vast menu: hoagies to pierogies, burgers, pizzas, pastas, tacos, nachos, and famous house french fries! After that, we have a nice, flat ride home on Torresdale Ave. via storied Philly neighborhoods: Torresdale, Holmsburg, Takony, Wissinoming, Bridesbburg, Port Richmond, Fishtown, Old City, and, of course, Center City! Cue sheets will not be available. Preregistration is required, please preregister by Thursday, March 27, 2025 at 10:00 am.
