Oh, yay! I’m at a different hotel but looking forward to meeting you! Make sure you come to the After Party at Keystone! Pam is leading the ride. I just booked Amtrak tickets from NYC and a room at the Best Western. Heading down Friday at noon and back Sunday evening.
This will be my first time attending the expo and I'm very excited! I plan on bringing my Roaduno.

I stayed at an AirBNB in the East Falls neighborhood when I went to the expo last year. It was really nice to be so close to Wissahickon Valley Park and the Schuykill River Trail, the latter of which makes it really easy to get from East Falls to the convention center. I took the Amtrak from Cleveland and the river trail also made it easy to get from the train station to East Falls. There’s even some nice hill climbing!
I had so much fun last year, and if anyone is on the fence I highly recommend going. I won’t make it this year, but will definitely be attending in 2026.
I remember meeting Eric M and Tim while I was there. The coffee outside ride that Tim organized was a blast! On Monday, February 3, 2025 at 11:41:21 PM UTC-5 Pam Bikes wrote:
If you fly w/your bike, you can put it in a cardboard box (get one from your local bike shop & measure it to make sure it's within the regulations for your airline). Most airlines charge a normal bag fee for a bike box. When I flew, I had a bag and my bike in a box so I paid for 2 bags. I was offered a first class upgrade which came w/2 free bags and the first class upgrade ended up being less than paying my 2 bag fees. YMMV. Check your airline.
Thinking about taking Amtrak up from Atlanta so I can bring my Appa, but worst case I'll fly up and use an Indego bike. Unless another list member has a loaner I can borrow for the weekend.
Looking forward to meeting any/all of you going though!
Tim's ride to Keystone after the Hot Dog ride was a blast and certainly a highlight of the weekend. A great route on quiet roads with Steven C., Cameron, Tim and Dan S. Even tho Dan S. and I got dropped for a bit and lost in the woods!

Amtrak is having a sale on some of the routes. I think NYC-PHL was on the list. You can take a bike but need a reservation. Ck details. Look for the bike sticker on the train to tell you which ones have the racks. The bike reservation is an extra cost.

for those in NYC considering this for a day trip, I just checked Amtrak tickets today, and you can do a roundtrip for less than $30. I did not investigate bring your bike options.
@rmrose - single track can DEFINITELY be at night if you'd like . Belmont at night is so special, we have fires under one of the bridges in the winter.
![]() This (ride) sounds so good. Might the singletrack be at night?
Welcome to town all be it a bit early. I’ll be doing unofficial rides Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and for Sunday morning I am one of the organizers of Coffee Outside Philly and that’s our weekly which tends to turn into a bit of thing during expo.
Last year I lead a pretty fun ride for a few folks from the group and others that left the expo, made it’s way to some of our single track, and gravel loops, hit a nice historic bridge or 2 and then cut back across town to keystone. I’ll put in a bit more planning this year and try to share some routes.
Anyway,
Tim in Philly @cleanupyouract @coffeeoutsidephl

The Good Tom! I sure hope we can meet again!
River - there will be rides posted on the event website. Pam often leads a ride to the Keystone After Party and sometimes one on Sunday. There was a coffee ride last year I really enjoyed. L Last year was my first time going, and I really enjoyed it. The Rivenfolk are great, of course, and I got to meet Leah and Pam, as well as builders such as Jeffrey Bock and Brian Chapman. The morning and evening rides are an added bonus; I also volunteered, which I will happily do again. That said, I'm not so sure I can get there this year, given a tight schedule in March, but I highly recommend PBE and taking part in every element of it. The vibe at PBE is excellent. Be sure to bring a bike! Good time to buy a show bike from Rivendell, too.

The 2025 Philadelphia Bike Expo is on March 8 and 9, and Rivendell is going to be there. I went last year for a few hours (on my way back home from a family visit in MD) and enjoyed it a lot. Fun to meet some of the Rivendell staff in person, and lots of other interesting things to look at and enjoy.
I'm thinking about going again this year - -but for a bit longer in order to be able to really enjoy it.
Anyone else considering going?
