Need to get a long ride in this weekend while visiting my parents in a NW suburb of Philly - don't mind hopping in the car to start the ride... but where to go that will be easy and relatively open?

I need a 20-30 mile loop I can do a few times to get about 100 in. Or 20-30 mile out and back... either works

What town will you be in ?  PM me if you want.  You will be close to the Schuykill River Trail.  If you get on at the Conshohocken Train station you can easily do 20-30 mile out and backs.  You'll go out past Valley Forge Park which can be a fun diversion while getting in your ride.  Down side it can be crowded on weekends in the sections near where I suggested you start.  About 3 miles or so out it gets less crowded but you still need to be mindful because it's a mixed crowd on there. 

There's other places to go.
