Biking Pennsylvania: The Perkiomen Trail
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2022
- A beautiful escape to nature on the outskirts of Philadelphia! The Perkiomen Trail provides so many interesting historical and natural sites along its 21 mile length that you may have to ignore some of them to reach the other end. This trail's southern end connects with the Schuylkill River Trail just a little past the John James Audubon Center. This ride took place on June 26, 2021.

Beautiful trail. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nice trail to try out! Have you ever been on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail? You can start at either end at Columbia (where there's covered parking under the bridge) or the Falmouth boat landing. Beautiful well-maintained 28 mile out and back trail that gets busy on nice weekend afternoons so the best time to ride is either weekend mornings or during the week, otherwise be prepared to be saying "On your left!" a lot. Plenty of places to stop and rest along the way, two covered picnic pavilions, Porta-potties, places to eat in Marietta, park benches all along the way, only a few short inclines, and a nice mix of tree-lined curvy sections and open farmed fields.
Thank you so much for the information on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail. It sounds like a great trail. It is on my list of trails to ride, along with a couple of others nearby in the Harrisburg area. Not sure when we’ll get to it though :( Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment.
Your videos are over-the-top perfect!
Prioritizing of scenery and historical narrative.
Also, perfect e-assist (no one would even realize that you have e-assist).
Scenery/wildlife viewing, and no speed-enhancing use of e-assist is my goal.
Senior handicapper here with mobility issues.
My Hase Lepus no-balance trike, on scenic bike path, is everything to me!
Also carry monocular on neck loop for increased viewing of scenery and wildlife!
You two are SO good at what you do!
Thank you for sharing!
That’s a great idea to carry some small binoculars or something similar. Thanks for sharing! We appreciate your binging our channel. So glad to hear you like what we are doing.
Great video! I just thru-hiked this trail today and it was beautiful! What a day!
Thanks for watching, and for taking a minute to comment. I'd like to get back to this trail and ride it to the end!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Hi. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful ride! Thanks for sharing. Just started riding again with an E Bike from Downingtown PA. Looking forward to following your paths on these beautiful trails.Happy Riding! 🚴🏻♂
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos. We hope to “see” you again on our next adventure.
Same here! From Downingtown as well. The Perkiomen Trail is one of my favorites, a lot of $$ went into it.
Beautiful trail and the warm weather will be here before we know it! Thanks for another great video. All the best, Steve and Jan
Hi Steve, Thanks for watching. Can't wait to get back out on my bike. We have several great trips already laid out.
@@Adventuresonebikes Just when I thought winter was over, we're getting 3-6" of snow later today here in Northwestern Connecticut. If you have any plans to be in CT this year, let us know. We have plenty of great trails like the Farmington River Trail and the Airline Trail. If we're not riding somewhere outside of CT, Jan and I would love to ride with you (or at least try to keep up). We haven't taken the eBike plunge yet. Our plans include Zion / Bryce Nat'l Parks end of this month, Cross New Hampshire Trail, Arctic Coast of Norway and any other places we can fit in to our schedule. What are your plans for the year? Take care and stay warm, Steve & Jan
@@steveretiredandcycling Hi. Yes the snow yesterday was fun. We didn't get more than a couple of inches. You have a very busy riding year. We are jealous -- but we both still are working for just a little while longer. We'd love to find a way to ride with you; and I'm pretty sure you have it backwards -- we will have a hard time keeping up with you! Right now our big adventure is to bike the entire Great Allegheny Passage over 3 days in June and take the train back to whatever end we start at. I have a 5 day Baltimore agenda planned, and a couple of nights in the Poughkeepsie area (Dutchess Rail Trail, Old Croton Acqueduct Trail, and the Wallkill Valley Trail). In July we hope to meet up with our trail friends Don and Nancy and ride the D&L Trail around Easton PA. Next year we want to go to Europe and take a ebike/river cruise. Have a wonderful day! Deb and Randy
Nice showing. I need to try some of these pathways. Happy safe riding!!!!!!
Thanks for watching and for your kind comments. See you on our next ride!!
Just found your channel. I’m hoping to ride some of these trails on my next holiday to the US. Greetings from Brisbane, Australia where we have a 100mile rail trail through the Brisbane Valley. 🦘🦘🦘
Wow! We've gone international! We'd love to come and ride your trail. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a great trail. .. .. .. Randy pass a bar??? Hehe.
Hi Don. Nope, Randy didn't pass a bar -- we circled back and had a beer and some lunch! This trail was newly paved and pretty much a super highway. Thanks for watching. We are planning on catching up with you this summer for a ride or two!
nice video! a friend of mine was up there not too long ago.
I've been thinking about getting an e bike, not sure what type to get
Hi. Thanks for watching. It does take some research to make sure you get the right bike for you. You may want to watch our video on that topic -- ruclips.net/video/5dFkqoccbQY/видео.html
@@Adventuresonebikes nice video very informative, definitely helpful thanks 😊
This looks nicer than the C&O canal trail
Hi. Thanks for watching. It is a nice trail. Every trail has it's own special nuances. I enjoy the history on the C&O Canal Trail; but the Perkiomen also has some history as well.
