Really brought back memories of the days 20 years ago when we lived in South Jersey and often did one of the bike loops in the park. I especially enjoyed the Boat Houses, Museum, Valley Green Inn and old factory town of Manayunk. Great photo opportunities. BTW, It was there that I broke the seatpost on my Cannondale ST500, proving that a stiff aluminum frame isn't as strong as one might think ( I did get a free, new, updated frame which has lasted these 20 years.)
