Hi all.

My husband will be playing golf in the Elverson, PA area this weekend and I was going to hitch a ride to get out of the city and explore some new training scenery. I am totally unfamiliar with the area but Google showed me that French Creek SP and Marsh Creek SP are nearby, they both look beautiful for my run/bike brick.

I have a few questions for any folks familiar with the area. Can you OWS at either park? Any suggestions on a safe (I'll ride in the road, so long as I have a smidge of a shoulder) cycling route with minimal turns? Google brought up some nice looking routes but waaaay too many turns, I get lost easily.

Thanks, happy training.

Elverson is great for riding. The roads to those parks are well traveled by cyclists. You cant OWS at either one unfortunately but you can at Blue Marsh, which is about a 45 minute drive from the Elverson area.
