Schuykill River Trail


Over the past few years I've used the Schuylkill river trail for recreational purposes, but over this past summer I've used probably more than the previous 5 years combined.
Ever since I moved to Conshohocken at the beginning of this year I have started riding my bike a lot more than I ever have in my life. I pretty much ride at least a couple of times a week depending on weather and my schedule. There is one main reason for this, and it's the Schuylkill river trail. Since the trail is right out my front door it gives me little excuse not too ride my bike. I've been riding enough where I can get to center city near the art museum area
going eastbound,(about 10 miles from my apt one way) and Valley Forge park going west bound (also about 10 miles). For shorter rides I'll go to Manayunk which is about a 5 mile ride or the Norristown area. I also have 2 friends who live very close to the trail at different points on the trail so sometime I'll stop by there to take a break. The trail is very nice and follows many miles along the river.
