Meet at 8am at 30th St. Station for an 8:20 train on the R-6 line to Norristown to explore the newly opened section of The Perkiomen Trail. We will ride through the historic district of Norristown to Lower Perkiomen Valley Park where we will pick up the trail along Perkiomen Creek. We will enjoy surprisingly remote and quiet scenes, as well as a chance to see newly revitalized towns along the Schuylkill River Heritage Corridor. Return via the Schuylkill River bikeway to enjoy lunch at the White Dog Cafe and an update on area trail and greenway developments.
The group will be led by architect Bob Thomas, long-time bike advocate, historian and bicycle commuter.
The 33-mile moderate ride will be on road and off-road trails, mostly flat with some initial hills and traffic. Please bring a water bottle, spare tube and repair kit, helmet and bike in excellent operating condition.
