The last-minute tour

Martha's working on Sunday, so I may as well go on a tour! I've got a weekend tour planned, and only 3 days to go.

Saturday, 27 miles: Take the train to Philadelphia, ride along the Delaware River to Mayfair, then head North through Pennypack Park. I understand there's a bike path there... somewhere. Should be interesting trying to find it.

Continue north through Lorimer Park, then take Huntington Pike 10 miles to Richboro, and Tyler State Park. I have a reservation at a hostel in the park, and a trail map to help me find it.

Sunday, 34 miles: Washington Crossing Road will lead me to a metal bridge between two parks linked by a road that's the namesake of both parks. (Yes, this is where George Washington posed for a painting in a boat.) I'll take one of my regular routes to Princeton from there.

Martha's work is 9 miles from the towpath's Kingston access point. I hope to be there at the end of her workday.
