this flag was hanging off the bridge connecting to Pennsylvania - we walked over and back |
The 2nd scorch training ride pushed us a bit more on the D&R canal path. We did 35.5 miles which is a small 10% uptick from the first long ride. We were supposed to do the NJ to Philly ride, but the forecast was signalling rain and we didn't want to have a soggy cycle through the elements.
The weather turned out fantastic, the ground was dry and so we decided to try out a different route. There was a number of other people who also had the same idea to get out and exercise. [ you can see the strava map below which shows the area is quite popular. ]

I cant say more good things about the D&R canal route. The earlier in the day you go the better.
We agreed a new date for the philly ride! Memorial day weekend! Hopefully my teammates practice. :)
I stopped after i almost killed this poor turtle and moved him/her in to the grass :) |
Seems there was an abandoned railway in many parts of the canal. This old train car was cool |
super nice trails |
