| What: Rails-to-trails mountain biking at its very best! The Lehigh Gorge mountain bike trail is one of the most popular mountain biking trails in the East, covering up to 25 miles of the Poconos' most spectacular wilderness scenery. Enjoy the beauty, serenity and convenience of the trail as it winds its way through the Poconos' Lehigh Gorge State Park alongside the river. Biking the trail is easy, delightfully fun, relaxing ... and features a groomed, 2% down hill grade for the whole 25 miles. Where: The Lehigh River, located in Pennsylvaina, is approximately a 2-hour drive from Sunday's camp site and about 2 hours from NYC as well. When? We will meet at the bike rental at 10:30. We hope to be on the bike trail by 11:30 and to be done by 4 at the latest.
How long will we be on the trail? It should not take more than 3 hours to bike the trail. Assuming that some of us are beginners and that we will want to stop for lunch, we will allow 4 hours for the entire trip. What is the cost? a recession-friendly $40 How many people can go? We are opening this trip to 25 participants.
What do I need to bring? The bike rental will provide helmets (included in the cost of bike rental). They will be selling bottled water. We ask that everyone make sure they have 2 liters of water--you need to keep well hydrated on a biking trip regardless of how hot it may or may not be. For those of you coming from the camp site, there will be bread and spreads available to make your own sandwiches; those of you coming from home or otherwise will need to bring any food or snacks with them.
