Pa

See, the Yankees win the world series, and you get the best philly has to offer outside the Cheese Steaks.

Did they ask you for a park pass to MTB Wissahickon? I was thinking about going this week end after turkey day, except I am not into forking over the 20 bux when I only mtb there once every other year.

Thanks for sharing your ride with us !

Awesome!

Riding to and from seems like it would be right up your alley Liong, and would be at least half off road as well. Paulinskill trail to PA, down to Easton and onto the Delaware canal trail south to Bristol(though I always got off it further north), then work your way into Philly. I think the Canal trail goes past pennypack park as well....

Liong,

That looks like you had a great day! That area by the art museum, river drive and wissahickon park on a nice Sunday really is awesome!


Liong or Freeride, if you're interested I have an extra park permit that you're more than welcome to... on the application I put down that I would ride pennypack and wissahickon and they sent me 2 permits and 2 maps
