It was a long bike ride today as we hired a bike and did 85kms.

We first headed south along the Schuylkill River path which then ended so a bit of road riding down to Bartram Gardens and John Heinz Wildlife Reserve.

The wildlife reserve was mostly wetlands with a lot of bird life.

It was then back into central Philadelphia and then north along the river path to join the Wissahickon Valley Park trail which was a beautiful ride along a creek through the forest.

An enjoyable ride in great weather.

Ended the day watching the Presidential debate, which was being held in Philadelphia only 2kms from where we were staying. Trump said so many stupid things I started attacking the screen.
