I went riding yesterday despite a weather forecast that promised thunderstorms. I took pictures of my favorite parts of the ride. It rained at night after I fell asleep.

Starting out, this is next to west river drive (on the left) with the ominious clouds above and the Schuylkill River on the right. The roads aren’t blocked, but there weren’t many cars out at noon.

Now I’m on west river drive because car access is blocked on weekends until 5PM. So its paradise for bikers and other people. Except, most people stay on Kelly (or the eastern side of the river). The ominous clouds have gone away.

 

While I was taking the above picture, the geese here were looking at me curiously, or ignoring me. 

 

Now I’m on Forbidden Drive. Below is a portion of Wissahickon Creek.

 

This is the bike trail next to the creek. It was also mostly empty.

 

This is further north near Wissahickon Ave. I could hear the cars on the street nearby, but it was still pretty quiet.
