Our team (Janice Chernekoff, Chris Newman and self) are on the slow side, hence the team's name ('Flying Snails'). We have done PA Fleches together before, in 2008 and 2012. Our route is designed for minimal elevation and extra distance beyond the 360km required. It is U-shaped, starts from Skillman NJ, heads South-East to the Jersey Shore, then North-West to Swedesboro NJ and Cherry Hill NJ before crossing the river into Philly.

Fun ride that starts in New Jersey close to the end of a Septa train line out of Philadelphia. Not too hilly with plenty of convenience stores along the way throughout ride. Passes through New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The team will be excited to make the journey and get to the finish destination without overdoing.

The Route: NYC to Philadelphia
The Players: Jasen Lo, Alexa Ringer, Maria Thomson, and Tracey Hinder
The Vibe: We will transport our urban feral birthday captain, Alexa Ringer, from her Ringer home Greasy fingers by a Wawa parking lot. Snorting sour patch kids sugar while pedaling on the flats. We gaze out at the Jersey Wilderness and long for the trashcans of home in New York. Will we make it to Philadelphia in time for brunch? Only time will tell.
