Sunday, June 27th, 2010, we set out on a new adventure; this time to a section of the Perkiomen Trail. There is a large parking lot in Oaks, just off of Rt 422, where many people gather to enjoy the trails in this area. Riding one way takes you to Valley Forge and Philadelphia. The other direction goes to Green Lane. Last year we had ridden part of the trail to Norristown so we decided to try the opposite direction on this day.
We rode about 9 miles to the Hollywood trail head where we turned around and headed back. This trail is very popular. It's a beautiful ride and most of the trail is shaded. You do cross public roads at several points and there is a bridge that crosses the creek that gives you a wonderful view. The terrain is not all railroad beds and so the trail does have it's ups and downs and bends. Nothing too difficult, but if you're used to riding rail trails this will be a bit more challenging. All in all, we had a great ride.
