Ride description: This is a scenic ride along the C&D Canal and Delaware River which is mostly flat except for the bridges over the canal. This ride includes a segment over the recently reopened St George's bridge which has a very nice separated bike lane. Bring snacks and water for the ride and there is an optional opportunity for lunch/dinner at Schaefer's Canal House after the ride.

Please be sure to pre-register on the BCP website (https://phillybikeclub.org/bcpdo/ride/calendar).

Route note: due to Delaware City Days this weekend and possible crowds in Delaware City, we may skip the short loop into Delaware City and rest stop in the town. We will make a bathroom stop at mile 12 and 20 as needed.
