Level Moderate Pace on Moderate Trails, 5.5 miles. Meet at Bruno's, Northwestern and Germantown Aves. The ride leaves at 1:00 pm. For Jan. 18: "Plan B" Hike/Walk, due to snow & ice. Hike/walk along Forbidden Drive, from Northwestern Ave to Valley Green Inn and back. Coffee/snack/restroom break at the Valley Green Inn. On the return, if hikers prefer, we can take a slight detour up to one of the higher trails, rather than Forbidden Drive. SPIKES/ICE CLEATS for your hiking shoes and TREKKING POLES are strongly recommended for safer traction. At the end of the hike, optional hot coffee/chocolate at Bruno's on Northwestern Ave.

GENERIC DESCRIPTIONl 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. Preregistration is required, please preregister by Sunday, January 18, 2026 at 1:00 pm.
