ridewithgps.com/routes/48725978
Level B-/C+: 13-14mph, 44 miles. Meet at Flourtown Shopping Center. The ride leaves at 9:00 am. SPECIAL EDITION for October 11: Cycle from Flourtown to Holmesburg, for the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony at the new trailhead for the Pennypath Path at State Rd. Cycle through Flourtown, Glenside, Jenkintown, Fox Chase and Rockledge, on our way to connecting to the Pennypack Trail at the Verree Rd trailhead. The autumn foliage is beginning to turn more colorful. Continue on the Pennypack Trail to the eastern end, at State Rd. The Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony is at Mile 20. After the festivities, we meander around the riverside path at Pennypack at the Delaware. On the return, quick coffee/lunch/snack break at Mile 24, in the Torresdale neighborhood - choice of places to stop (Wawa, McD's, diner, etc.). Return to the Pennypack Trail to head back to Verree Rd trailhead, then on to Flourtown. Toward the end of the ride, if another rest break is needed, we can stop in Rockledge at Mile 34. Total elevation gain is 1984 ft. (Uh-oh! Is this Orwellian?) The average amount of climbing is a pretty tame 45 ft/mile. GENERIC DESCRIPTION: Enjoy scenic adventures by bike on most Fridays, throughout the year. Explore pretty, peaceful roads in suburban counties. Starting points will vary, so that we can cycle through different regions. Please check daily calendar for details of each Friday's route. Cue sheets and on-line route map provided for each ride.
