Art Museum Steps to Ardmore, PA
Ardmore, the 13th best place to live in America... who knew ?!?
Ardmore is a nearby Main Line suburb with a commercial area that conveniently has a welcoming Brewery. Some rolling hills outbound with a steady climb to Ardmore and pleasantly more downhill on the return. The forecast is currently saying 80 degrees for the start time and will be pushing 90 by the finish, so don't forget to hydrate and bring some liquid. We'll stop as needed along the way for water/etc. This is the most challenging skate of the weekend due to distance/hills/pace/heat. It is possible to return via a regional rail train that runs hourly from Ardmore, but be sure to bring footwear if you expect to do that (runs 7 minutes after the hour). Plenty of shopping/food options to keep you busy if you choose to do that.
Highlights along the way:
- Philadelphia Zoo
- Fairmount Park
- St. Joe's University
- Rolling hills through Wynnewood
- Tired Hands Brewery in Ardmore
- View of Philly from Belmont Plateau w/nice downhill
- Horticultural Center
Water stop - Tired Hands Fermentaria Tap Room
