The route is a tour of Fairmount Park landmarks, with a loop out to the suburbs, including rural Evansburg State Park and the interesting town of Ambler. Riders will travel northwest from the start to exit the city, passing two women‘s history landmarks on their way out of the city. The first one, on Wissahickon Ave at the top of Rittenhouse Town Lane, commemorates Dr. Mary Davis Ridgeway, a homeopathic physician, surgeon, and women‘s rights activist who was president and chief surgeon at a hospital for impoverished women in Germantown.

I recommend bright clothing with front and rear lights and dress for the prevailing temperatures. I will be at the coffee shop around 8:45AM.
