Hi Bill, Hope you are well. We gotta chat. Okay, the ride, we started at St. Joe's Boat House on Kelly Dr. The picture was taken there. Biked Kelly Dr north to Ridge Av where we entered Wissahickon Bike Trail that runs along Lincoln Dr, under Henry Av and continued to entrance of Forbidden Dr.
ReplyDeleteWe road to the north end of F Dr, passing Valley Green, and turned around at Northwestern Av.
F. Dr. is a cinder trail about one car wide. There was plenty of evidence of horses but we didn't see any. There were a few walkers and a couple of bikers. Mostly, we were about 40 ft above the gorge and 50 ft below the tree covered hill tops.
The restaurant's tiny, low ceiling, left front dining rm was almost full. Noisy from chatter and too warm for bike gear, and it took too long to get the food. But food was good.
The ride back from N.W. Ave was easy and fun. Almost all, a slight dn hill slope. Temp got up to 62 that afternoon.
I was so glad that Fran could make it.
