Final Route Distances

Now that the cue sheets are finalized and the detours accounted for the final route distances are:

Trail: 8, 22, and 44 miles. There are no changes here.

Shared Roads: 32, 45, and 72 miles.

Both the 45 and 73 mile routes are using park road and not the trail to arrive at Wayne's Woods and to exit Wayne's Woods for the final leg returning to the Finish at Lloyd Hall.

You asked for longer distances so when we rerouted the longest ride to account for the missing 252 Bridge we really extended it. It is a beautiful loop in Chester County. There is a stretch of 5.4 miles on Yellow Spring Rd with no turns at all and of course the beautiful covered bridge.

New from Valley Forge

You asked for it and we were able to make it happen this year!

More roads and much less use of the multiuse paths!

You will be riding on the roads in Valley Forge National Historic Park, except where one way roads make it impossible. You can ride on North Outer Line Drive, North Inner Line Dr., Valley Creek Rd., Valley Park Rd, and Valley Forge Rd.

You will need to use the path to leave the rest stop for the Chester County Extension Loop and to return to the rest stop before leaving the park to return to Philadelphia. Both are short distances compared to what you did in past years.

When you see the folks at Valley Forge, thank them.

As always ride carefully and with courtsey, these are narrow, busy roads that we need to share well.
