Friday Morning Bike Ride
We can often explore more of an area via bike than on foot. On the Friday rides we're bicycling for 2-3 hours at an easy pace. Each ride will be different and I'll update the location 1-2 weeks in advance.
In each case you need a bicycle that can handle dirt roads with some rocks. Make sure you have sufficient air in your tires and that your brakes work. For more about bicycling visit: http://www.hikingarou...
Here are some 2-3 hour rides we will do from Hill House.
Ride 1- Art Museum: We go down Forbidden Drive, the bike path, and the River Drives.
Ride 2- Mansion Ride: Head down lightly trafficked streets in the area. Many dead end into park. Many different rides.
Ride 3- Conshohocken via bike path and Forbidden Drive. Neat loop ride of about 18 miles.
Sometimes with a week or so notice we can start the ride from elsewhere.

Always good idea to bring some food, your camera, and on hot days a dry shirt that you can change into.
Warm weather hike info:
• Apply sunscreen before leaving home. See more about sunscreens under Files.
• Bring lots of water. Best to get a 3 liter hydration pack or reservoir. More about water: http://www.hikingarou...
• Only a forecast of thunderstorms and torrential rains will cancel a hike. A normal rain is no problem in warm weather.
