The FruitGuys Almanac » Events

Where: 1 Boathouse Row is at the intersections of Sedgely and Kelly Drives behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Free street parking is available on on Sedgely Dr. and Lemon Hill Dr.

What: A fully supported non-competitive bike ride. You can choose trail rides or ride on shared roads. After 30 years, Bike Freedom Valley returns to its roots – to celebrate the progress of the Schuylkill River Trail as it is becoming the premier transportation and recreation greenway connecting neighborhoods across the Delaware Valley and to illuminate the attractions that just beyond the trailway. What has traditionally been a beautiful scenic ride extending from central Philadelphia to Valley Forge National Park will now be this and so much more!
