Philadelphia Mountain Biking Meetup

The Wednesday Ride from the Pavilion is an all seasons ride that has been ongoing since 2007. We have a few set loops for this ride that are approximately 9 miles with options to ride longer or shorter distance if desired. Ride will occasionally break into different groups when there is a large turnout of different skill levels. Most of the regular riders skill levels are advanced and riding high end full suspension bikes so I would not say this ride is beginner friendly. You may get dropped if not on pace. The regulars don't use Meetup so RSVP is never accurate. Most riders meet at different location and ride to the Pavilion, so wheels out time can sometimes fluctuate a few minutes late depending on the group but our goal is a 630 start. Quality lights are required during the night time riding season for safety. Helmets are mandatory.

The Meetup group is to attract new riders. None of the regular riders RSVP here.

Intermediate to fast pace. Ride direction changes weekly. Distance is from a half loop to a 3/4 loop. Stops at the top of long climbs to regroup - however riders are sometimes dropped.

Lights are needed most of the year, sometimes just for the last bit, but from August through May, definitely bring a light.

We ride year round, but sometimes when just a couple riders are coming, we change the time or meeting location. And we sometimes cancel for bad weather, so please RSVP, especially in the winter. If you RSVP, I will keep you in the loop about possible changes.
