Bike Rides
Bike Rides are easy-to-moderate one-day outings for members who would like to try cycling with a friendly, non-competitive group. These rides are moderately paced on generally flat or rolling, well-maintained bike trails or country roads. Generally, they will be from 10 AM to 2 PM, and average from 15 to 25 miles.
Each participant must bring a bike in good working order and must wear a standard biking helmet that fits.
Delaware Canal Tow Path Bike Ride
Sunday, April 29, 2018 (Easy/Leisurely)
This ride is good for beginners who ride regularly and is fun for more experienced riders, too. The tow path runs parallel to the Delaware River, which is almost always in view.

Along the way we’ll see the river and canal, parts of Stockton, NJ, and Lumberville, PA, a pedestrian bridge across the Delaware River, farms, nurseries and country estates. Bring your well-maintained road or trail bike, standard bike helmet that fits, and your lunch. Bike rentals are available in Frenchtown.
