https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34852149
Level B-/C+: 12.5-14mph, 5-6 miles. Meet at Valley Forge National Park - parking lot next to General von Steuben Statue. The hike leaves at 1:00 pm. HIKE on 12/28, due to lingering snow & ice on the roads. Hike around peaceful Valley Forge National Park. TREKKING POLES and ICE CLEATS strongly recommended, for safety and traction.
At the end of the hike, we can stop for a quick coffee/snack break at the Chapel Cabin cafe, behind Washington Memorial Chapel.
GENERIC DESCRIPTION: Sunday afternoon winter ride, for those who have other plans on Sunday morning. Focus is to enjoy some sunshine/fresh air therapy with friends, curb holiday/winter weight gain, and maintain base-level fitness during the off-season, to have an easier transition into early spring rides when March comes around again. Starting points will vary, but usually we will meet close to the Wissahickon. Brief rest stop mid-ride for coffee/restroom/snack break. HELMETS are mandatory. FRONT & REAR LIGHTS are MANDATORY, due to early darkness. Distance will be determined by sunset time. Depending on road or trail conditions, this ride may be replaced by a hike/walk. Details for each Sunday will be updated weekly. The on-line route map is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34852149. Preregistration is required, please preregister by Sunday, December 28, 2025 at 1:00 pm.
