I've stopped and talked with a ranger and he didn't raise an issue with the EUC. Weekdays would be best as the trail has heavy usage in some sections on weekends. The next decent weekday I am heading down to Philadelphia to ride the Schuylkill River trail. Bruce Hey Bruce, I am the buddy that rides with HarpMudd. We rode the Schuylkill River Trail on 7/2 from Valley Forge National Park into Philly and back nice ride about 42 miles. I may do it again tomorrow or he mentioned you had a couple areas out your way I believe the Delaware Water Gap National Park and the McDade trail. I plan to go riding tomorrow and would enjoy company HarpMudd is visiting his folks over the 4th of July weekend. Let me know if you are able to get out tomorrow I know it is tough with the 4th of July weekend I am heading to CT tomorrow night so looking to get in a morning ride.

The Schuylkill River Trail is on my list for this summer. However, I am two and a half hours north of Philly so it takes a bit of planning. You could come up ride the McDade trail and then continue into Connecticut on I84. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Oh, sorry about that did not realize such a hike. Let HarpMudd or I know when you plan to head out this way and we will try to set up a group ride. Thanks for the advice on McDade trail. Happy riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bvoland Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I am trying to get a group ride together for this weekend 7/18 if the weather is nice. I was planning to start from Valley Forge visitor center and ride into Philly on the Schuylkill River Trail. If others are along the trail we can meet you at various points along the way. Let me know if anyone is interested. I will definitely be making the ride and would enjoy having a group of EUC riders join. Hope to see you on Saturday.

I've been riding EUC since 2014 and until today I only saw 2 people riding it lol. I'm trying to convince people around me join the EUC world. Don't wanna be the solo rider. I'll certainly join the next group meet if possible. I am trying to get a group ride together on Saturday 7/18 morning 9'30 riding the Schuylkill River Trail leaving from Valley Forge Visitor Center. Let me know if you can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a V8 and K16x, and would really like to find out about other riders in the area and perhaps occasionally join in group rides. Just wanted to let you know that I will be watching to see if you manage to form some kind of group/noticeboard for the greater Philly area and am interested in joining. I am planning a group ride on Saturday 7/18 we are planning to meet at 9:30 at the Valley Forge Visitor Center and ride the Schuylkill River Trail into Philly. Let me know if you can make it. Hope to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode the Schuylkill River Trail this past Tuesday. I started in Plymouth Meeting on the Cross County Trail. The Art Museum is a real treat to see as you approach it from the river trail. In Manayunk you leave the trail and turn left on Lock Street and then turn right on Main Street for 3/4 mile. You pick the trail up again across the Wissahickon River bridge. Have fun.

Jerome Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If weather holds I will meet you/group at the Norristown Transportation Center or the Falls Bridge in Philly. Both are directly on the SRT to the Art Museum. I have a KS18L and weigh 240 lbs so I have range problems. I might decide to ride my e-bike if that is okay?

That sounds great we will plan to leave from Valley Forge around 9:30. I will check the distance and timing to get to the Falls Bridge and let you know when to expect us. Looking forward to meeting you and enjoying the ride. The weather is suppose to be nice but a little warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got down to the train and found out that the next one was actually after 2. Couldn’t do that had to be home by a certain time. Ended up catching Uber to my car. The one who pays less pays twice. The Uber cost me as much as I paid for charger This is the most fun I’ve had on an EUC so far. Thank you guys. Hope we can do it again.
