Biking to Sunsets then Margaritas (about 16 miles RT, a little bit of workout)

Details

Will cancel for rain, but still going if it's just cloudy

We'll meet outside the bathrooms at Lloyd Hall at Boat House Row at 6:30
then we bike to the river side just past Flat Rock Dam to get some pics
(the dam is no longer accessible)
then we bike to the Manayunk/Cynwyd Trail bridge over Manayunk and the river for the sunset
*the road up to the bridge is quite steep but not too far, so ok to walk it and take your time, it's not easy to ride, but everyone will be able to get up it to join us (yeah, you'll sweat a bit but the view is worth it)

after sunset we'll bike to Manayunk to catch a drink or 2 at La Roca (make sure to bring a bike lock)

then head back to Lloyd Hall as you are ready (stay as long or as short as you want at La Roca)

If you are meeting us at Lloyd Hall and driving, it's best to park on Sedgley Drive

General bike ride guidelines for IBO:
helmets are at your own discretion
give way to others on Schuylkill River Trail (SRT) like walkers, joggers, etc
ride 2 or 3 side by side to talk if you want, as space allows, but make sure to pay attention and move over as needed
Generally the first mile or so along boat house row is crowded to just ride single file until the crowd dissipates
we ride at about 12-14 miles an hour - I consider that a moderate pace: slow enough to chat if space allows, but fast enough to get us where we're going in a good time and has proven to be the best pace to allow most or all of the group to stick together
We'll wait at a few spots along the route but can't wait too long, if you're too far behind, you'll have to get yourself to where we are going
and for those that want to speed along, if you know where you're going, feel free to speed ahead, we'll see you there
