Overview

  • An amazing journey

    Attendees can expect a unique trip at Bikeout 2024: Philly to Schwenksville. More than 150 riders will follow the Schuylkill River Trail from the heart of Philadelphia to the Perkiomen Trail in Montgomery County. Part of the Circuit Trails network, our ~38-mile route parallels old canal ways and historic railroad tracks, with plenty of scenic waterside views and greenery.

    Relax & ride

    At Bikeout, all you need to do is ride! We’ll carry your gear to camp and will provide snacks when you arrive. Rolling mechanics will be on the trails to help you out if you need it -- we’ve got you!

A summer camp celebration

At Camp Kweebec, we'll enjoy everything summer camp has to offer — swimming, games, relaxing by the lake, and a hearty meal. Riders will enjoy great brews, stargazing, and a campfire before tucking in for the night in a cozy cabin (with bathrooms and showers!) or in a tent of your own under the stars.

Eat & drink with friends

Enjoy an afternoon snack and communal dinner prepared by the staff of Camp Kweebec, breaking bread with new and old friends in a traditional summer camp dining hall. Breakfast and coffee will be ready for you in the morning before heading out for your ride back to town.

This is a digital trip guide for someone interested in exploring a curated Bikeout experience as a self-guided trip on their own. Our Guide provides you with a map of points of interest, turn-by-turn directions, accommodation recommendations, a sample itinerary, exclusive partner discounts and other resources so that you'll spend less time planning and more time focusing on having a great time on your bike!

Rides

This ride starts near the Art Museum in downtown Philadelphia, following the Schuylkill River Trail through the canal paths of Manayunk, and past Norristown and Conshohocken. There's a quick break for lunch at Valley Forge National Historical Park, the half-way point, before continuing north on the Perkiomen Trail to Schwenksville, where we’ll ride a short distance on-road to our destination, Camp Kweebec. We'll return using the same route the next day.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
