Come cycling and camping along the smooth and safe trails along the Delaware River. We will start riding at our campsite on the Pennsylvania side, heading North to cross the bridge into Frenchtown, New Jersey. From there we will go South along the Delaware River to Bull's Island, take a break, then return. Some Scouts may be allowed to go farther. Check out pictures from our previous trips here: 2014 2013 2010 2008
We will have a beginner trip, plus one or more experienced-rider trips. We will camp at Tinicum Park, part of the Bucks County Parks system.
The map of the park is here: MAP [we are staying in Group Camp Area #3, in the upper left]- We need drivers both ways and parents to cycle with us!
- We need help getting bikes there and back (roof-mounted and hitch-mounted bike racks or a trailer)
- We need at least one parent who doesn't want to cycle to stay in camp and take care of our things, plus be there if someone needs to return. You could read a book or just relax!
- Bonus points if you can pull a trailer to drop off bikes and pick them up!
Depart Saturday 8AM from St. John's
Return Sunday Noon to St. John's (drivers to Tinicum Park by 11AM)
