Albeit that I haven’t updated my blog with interesting post about my
ride at all really this week, I ended up biking around a lot. I took a ride to Germantown, via a route
through Brewerytown, Strawberry Mansion and Allegheny West. It was really fascinating but by the time I
reached Germantown I was pretty tired and people were not very nice. It’s also
a rather grubby section of the city, although the main strip looked a tab
cleaner than the last time I had seen it.
Additional to my Germantown ride I started to bike do laps around FDR
Park in South Philly (My favorite park)

The FDR Park laps have started to satisfy a competitive side in
me. A lap is once around the drive that
circles the ponds in the park, it’s roughly 1.65 miles. The first day I did laps I did 4 of them and
one lap I did in 5min and 18 sec. which is the fastest I’ve ever biked around
there, it’s an average 18.7 mph. Over
all I averaged less than 17mph for all four laps. However on the second day that I went (I also
did 4 laps) I was much more consistent and was a little quicker overall with
slightly higher than 17 mph, 17.2. That
was my adventure for the week.
I made a large gain in the percentage of Philly I’ve been through. This
week I have cycled through just shy of 17.12%
of the entire city or 25.5 sq. mi. Additionally I’ve made great gains in the
number of neighborhoods I’ve been in, 97 out of 138 neighborhoods or 70%.
As always make sure you check out the Geographic
Analysis page for a more in depth look.
