Take a look at my web site at http://home.comcast.net/~miketordoff/. The
page on "Getting in and out of Philly by bike" gives links to some routes
and cue sheets to others. My advice is to approach Philly from the West
rather than trying for a direct assault from the South. It may mean more
miles, but they will be pretty ones.
Happy riding,
Mike Tordoff
