Joint PATS (Philadelphia Area TandemS) / CRABS / WABITS tandem ride along the Delaware/Chesapeake canal and surrounding area. This ride is 45 miles in length and starts on the D&C canal in Chesapeake City, MD. We will follow the canal trail east to Delaware City where we will take a short snack break in the park along the Delaware Bay. Then we will cross the canal on the Reedy Point Bridge (biggest climb on the ride) and follow scenic low traffic roads south to Port Penn and Augustine Beach. Then we will circle back west and north to cross the canal again on the St Georges Bridge (with dedicated bike lane) to cycle back to Chesapeake City. Once back we have the option for lunch/dinner at Schaefer's Canal House. Bring snacks and water for the ride. Bring money for lunch/dinner after the ride.
Please park at the back of the lot and be ready to ride at 10:00.
