As I enter my 15th week of blogging/biking I decided that I
wanted to really get out and bike. This past week was very pleasant weather
wise and I had little to do during the days (obviously) so I took advantage
with a couple epic rides. I already
posted about my ride to Norristown, PA but the day after that ride I went on a
ride with Zack southwest of Center City, through the wildlife refuge and around
a the back side of the airport. I did end up taking pictures along this ride so
I’m not going to give too much away right now, but keep your eyes peeled for a
new entry in the coming days. Between
those two rides I ended up cycling 70 miles so I didn’t ride much over the
weekend; mostly because I was tired but partly because I took a beach day on Saturday.
Below are the stats and map for this week’s adventures.

Even though I rode seventy some odd miles I only really biked through a
few ‘new’ parts of Philadelphia, raising my total slightly to 27.91 sq. mi. or
19.47% of the city. This is also one of the first weeks that I’ve biked a
considerable distance outside of the city limits. I biked through large
portions of Conshohoken (along the Schuylkill River Trail) and through Tinicum
Township (along the Delaware River, where the majority of the Philadelphia International
Airport is located). Because of these
forays across the border of Philly there was quite a shake up in the number and
amount of the region’s municipalities I’ve biked through. Make sure you check
out the Geographic
Analysis page for all the deets.
