York Heritage Trail October 2005

   Biking is one of my passions. I love being outdoors and biking gives me an excuse. I love going places where cars can not take you, going places that you can only get to by bike or foot. If my knees weren't so bad, I would probably do more hiking, but for now the bike still allows me this freedom I need.
   On this page, I will showcase my different rides (Hopfully as they happen).
Until then, some of my past rides consist of :
 
Delaware Canal through Trenton, NJ (with Bob) 9/2005
Delaware Canal, Pennsylvania side (with Renee) 2004
York Heritage trail, 78 miles (with Bob) 8/2005
Schukle Trail, Audabon to Philly Art Museum and back, 50 miles (w/ Renee)
York Heritage Trail, Easter Weekend, w/ family 2001
