No weekday rides this week

Look for a ride to be posted for next Saturday morning, hopefully we can combine with the C group if few folks show up.

I am doing the SRT this week but have invited a family of homeschooling kids to go with me, we are going to have lunch at the Couch Tomato in Manyunk.

May offer rides Sunday afternoons later in the fall. Football Insanity Rides.

Check back for details.

Great Ride today

but NO CHICKS, luckily men come out each week cuz otherwise it would have been me and the road. I have been tracking my miles since July 1, I hit the 1000 mile marker today. 10 weeks -1000 miles. I feel great about that.

Cue #127 is a phenomenal  ride. Mostly flat, mostly country and mostly great.

I looked around today and counted maybe total 5-7 women riders, most in the B groups. There were at least 50 men.

Wish I knew what to do to get women out on bikes??  But it seems to be a low priority with many women except the few fast ladies.

I see the same  women faces week in and week out in the B groups. But men come out in droves.

Saturday ride is ON

will meet at 8:40 am at Hot Foot

make sure to carry extra spare tubes and inflation

see you there

this ride will be a faster pace, if on a cross bike or mountain bike, make sure to bring the cue sheet and be prepared to use it, if enough folks come, we can split into two groups

Sunday September 21

I am signing up for the Bike Fresh Bike Local

ride options include 25 , 50, 75

may try the 50 miles, I think these rides head up north, so they may be hilly, probably decide that morning which ride I will do.

Come join me

saturday ride

at this point, i am undecided about riding this morning as wet roads bring flat tires, Ed of the C group has a ride up

if i do not show, join his group, if i show i will be doing cue #127

it is shorter

so head on up if inclined to ride and you can surely find a group to join if Biker Chicks are not there

Schuylkill River Trail - SRT

Ladies

I did the SRT today with some folks and I am posting that I will be doing this trail ride most Wednesday mornings through the Fall if anyone wants to join me.

I took to the trail today at 9:45 am and it was a good time.

Almost no one is on the trail so it makes for a nice ride. Sometime late October, the Phoenixville extension is supposed to be all paved, this would make the trail west of Betzwood go all the way to Phoenixville. This trail extension comes out in the Mont Clare park that abutts the canal in Phoenixville.

The Cross County extension goes to IKEA. I did part of that today as well.

So any time any of you wants to join me on a morning ride on the SRT, just send me an email at libby.maxim@gmail.com

Rides for week of September 1

Ellen and Elaine and I did the Brandywine Tour this past Sunday and rode the 50 mile course. Now Ellen and Elaine did not mind all the hills on this ride but I thought it was a tough ride. But while on this ride we saw a cyclist with an awesome blinkie light.

Here is the link to the light above.
