Schuylkill River Trail Bike Ride hosted by the PEC

June is National Trail Month! To celebrate, on June 14, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council will host a 30 mile guided bike ride on the Schuylkill River Trail, a portion of The Circuit trail system. The 30 mile ride, guided by Jeff Knowles of the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, highlights the success of the region in developing high quality trail corridors and is the second in PEC’s month-long series. 

Participants will meet at the park at 4424 Main Street in Manayunk. Riders will head north on the Schuylkill Trail, passing through Conshohocken and Norristown and stopping for a catered lunch in Valley Forge National Historic Park. 

The Circuit is a multi-use trail network that connects 275 miles of trails throughout the Greater Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with plans to add 475 additional miles to the system.  When fully complete, The Circuit will help connect people to jobs, recreational opportunities, public transportation and other neighborhoods, and will serve as a gateway to open green space.
