Ride leader Jessica G returns with a reprise of her epic 2025 ride. She’ll take us over the Ben Franklin Bridge to Cramer Hill Waterfront Park in Camden, NJ. We can catch our breath and some sweet views of Philly and the Delaware River before we head back over the bridge.

Once back on the Philly side, we’ll take our iron steeds underground through the 5th Street tunnel north before ending at Doom. The folks at Doom are excited for our return, and hope we roll in without a deluge this year! It was chilly at Doom last year…may have been cuz we were soaked, but you might want to bring a layer.

NOTE: This is our first ride in New Jersey since the passage of S4834/A6235, which created new regulations for e-bikes in New Jersey. The law came into effect on July 19, 2026. New Jersey now requires standard e-bike riders to hold a license, register their bikes, and (in some cases) carry mandatory liability insurance. More information is available on the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition website. If you ride an e-bike, please familiarize yourself with the law, use your judgment.

As usual, we’ll ride according to our How We Ride guide. Please follow these ride norms so everyone’s on the same page, and we keep the ride safe and fun. We’d like to highlight:

Stop at lights. Please, please DO NOT block intersections contrary to the traffic light. Our group can be very large and extended, and holding traffic risks serious conflict. If the light turns red, please stop.

Roll past conflict. Whether it’s angry motorists or unruly pedestrians, please do not engage with conflict and move on in a way that de-escalates the situation.

Finally, a reminder of risks and responsibilities. You don’t need to sign a waiver to join a Wednesday Night Ride, because it’s an entirely voluntary & free group activity. But please keep in mind:

• Everyone rides at their own risk.
• Every rider is responsible for themselves, their behavior, and their bike.
• Keep your bike properly maintained. Here’s a link to a basic bike check.
• Cycling has inherent risks–you could crash, fall down, or get hit by a car, and get hurt or even killed–though we try to minimize these risks.
• If you have a health condition that could affect your ride or put you at additional risk, consider a) checking in with a doctor, b) letting us or a friend know, c) having a backup plan to get home if riding doesn’t work out.
• We always plan to have a sweeper, but can’t rule out that you could get lost, or that your bike could break down and you’ll need to find another way home.

Want to lead a ride in 2026? We’re looking for ride leaders. Let us know if you’re interested! Our only criteria for leading a ride is that you’ve joined us before. You don’t need to have prior group ride lead experience or come up with the whole route on your own, we can help with that!

Thanks for riding! See you Wednesday.
