South of Philly Epic Loop


I am meeting up with BC today at 8am to go South. We head through the Heinz Wildlife Refuge, five miles of dirt and gravel roads, before crossing Chester Pike into Swarthmore. After riding along the Blue Route (476), we get into Ridley Creek Park for one long, really long climb. I'm not sure how we'll ride home from there, either to Valley Forge or home through Goshen and Vilanova. Either way, it'll be epic. I'll post the gps file later.
This ride ended up being 73 miles. A few pit stops and a nine minute tube change after pinch flatting on the gravel, all told it was 4h15. Didn't really fall apart until we got within 10miles of home, so that was good.
