Weekend team ride: Schuylkill River Trail - Ride is off due to weather!

We've had a great turnout last Saturday. After some bike dusting off and pumping up tires (yes, some bikes were in the garage since last year's City to Shore ride), the group rode to Manayunk in a leisurely pace and while some turned around, seven of us made it all the way to Philly. However, a rest stop in Manayunk was necessary on the way back - beer tastes so much better with 30 miles in your legs...
Only one flat tire, luckily right at the Betwood parking lot.

Hope even more of you will join us for an 8am start on Saturday in Betzwood (Corporate Parking Lot, S Trooper Rd)
