Information on Philadelphia Bike Tours
Hi Friends,
I was curious if anyone can point me towards a place to find information on any bike tours in Philadelphia. For context I live in NY and I am looking for a middle ground to do some bike tours with some friends from DC.

It's not clear:
Are you looking for paid, supported tours?
Event or charity rides?
Route maps for you and your friends to ride?
And more info on what type of riding -- distances, etc.

I live in Philly and don't understand the question. If you are contemplating something like the 5 Borough's Ride, it doesn't exist.

There was a 5 Boro-type ride several years back. It only lasted one or two years and was not that impressive.

Bikes and Beers does a ride in Philly in the fall. They also did one last July in S Jersey but I don't see anything scheduled for this summer.
Another very well organized event is the Spellbound Century, also in S Jersey.
