We have three Explore the Circuit rides coming this spring! The Bicycle Coalition’s Explore the Circuit series will showcase the growing Circuit Trails network throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region. Beginning in April we will ride in Camden County followed with a ride in Chester and Burlington counties.
We’ll bring you to parts of the Circuit Trails that may be new to you and give you a first look at the newly constructed segments. Additionally, we ride along trails that require support through local advocacy to bring those connections between existing trails. For the first three rides of the season, we will bring riders to all newly constructed trails that we can’t wait to explore with our members.
Below are the event details for each ride. If you’re already a Bicycle Coalition member, you can RSVP for and attend as many of these rides as you want at no cost. If you’re not a member, join today and your membership dues will get you access to this ride series as well and many more exciting benefits! Contact donations@bicyclecoalition.org if you have any additional questions regarding membership.

Phase II also includes the construction of a new trailhead parking lot at Linfield Road and the resurfacing and paving of the County’s existing 5.75 mile section of the Trail.
