If I drive where do I park/How do I get there?

There is plenty of on street parking for Bike Freedom Valley.

Registration is at Lloyd Hall behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art at Kelly Drive and Waterworks Drive. Across Kelly from Waterworks Dr is Sedgely Dr. You can park anywhere on Sedgeley. There are also several lots near the Lemon Hill Mansion. For Center City Parking information go to philapark.org

Of course you could come to Bike Freedom Valley via regional rail, subway or the PATCO High Speed Line. Bikes allowed on all lines all day on Sundays or put your bike on the front of a bus. When you get close you can bike to the start. This reduces your carbon footprint and saves your legs for a great ride.

If you need transit or trip planning info go to www.septa.com and ridepatco.org.

Exciting new about the Loop in Valley Forge NHP

We previewed the new loop in Valley Forge National Historic Park this past Saturday. There is a lovely piece along the creek as well as some spectacular views from the heights.I am pleased to report that most of it will be on the road. We will use the trail from Trooper Rd to Outerline Dr. as this is a much less confusing way to enter the park for those riding the 44. The 35, 50 and 68 will use about .25 miles to enter the park and get from the Arch to the road.

We will also use the trail for those re-entering the park after doing the 18 mile loop outside the park to return to the Wayne's Woods rest stop, due to one-way streets. In total this is a little more than a mile of trail riding if you're doing the 68 and about 1/4 mile if you're doing theany of the other routes in the park.
