Open space, rivers and lakes, mountains and nature provide endless options of beautiful cycling opportunities and a weekend away. Cities provide endless action, culture, art and a variety of culinary experiences. What about combining both? Welcome to Philadelphia!
Our base is in Philadelphia, BUT almost 80% of our routes are outside the city, a combination of farmland and small charming towns between Eastern PA and South Jersey!
The Eastern Pennsylvania , AKA The Philadelphia Tour, is intended to combine great cycling experiences, in the surrounding areas of South Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our routes will span open farmlands and some urban cycling on dedicated trails. You can enjoy historical sites, shows, great restaurants and art exhibits.
Cycling routes: We will offer new options for each day. Friday will focus on exploring the beautiful spaces of Eastern PA and/or South Jersey before arriving in Philly. Saturday and Sunday will provide options for urban explorations: the wonders of cycling along the Schuylkill River, teaming up with the Philadelphia Cycling Club and venturing to neighboring counties. Some will be remote starts. GPS routes will be provided before the tour.
Hotel: Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District: A beautiful city hotel with rooftop pool and gym, in the center of the Philadelphia historic district. Limited to 40 Club members, based on 2 per room. Accommodations include: Lodging, Friday and Saturday, hot breakfast, and 2 Happy Hour gatherings. We plan to incorporate an entertainment/Dinner event TBD.
Parking: We negotiated a great rate with the hotel’s indoor secure parking lot with unlimited in and out for $20+tax per overnight ($40+tax for the 2 nights). The parking fee is NOT included in the tour fee and will be paid directly by you.
Group Activities for Friday evening: In previous years we included a group visit to a comedy club, and a combo of a cruise with dinner. The plan for 2026 will be shared later as we explore different options. But for Saturday night, we encourage all participants to explore the variety of excellent restaurants Philly has to offer, spanning many different cuisines and budgets, as opposed to organizing a second group dinner. A list of restaurant options will be provided.
Registration: Registration will open Saturday, January 3rd at 8:00pm ET and will follow Club rules regarding registration and lottery, if needed. Send your registration email to Chuck Goodgal at [email protected].
