Philadelphia may not be known as a mountain bike destination, but it should be. Within the city limits lies a 1800 acre park of dense wooded singletrack, long climbs, fast descents, and miles of flow induced mountain bike hammering. Naturally, being in Philadelphia, it has a long and amusing history and nowhere else is such an extensive mountain bike system within reach of the urban dweller.
