Active Outdoors Weekend West Philly

Tussle at the Trestle

The High Line Trestle has carried freight trains along the West Bank of the Schuylkill for ages, and this Sunday, December 30th, it will bear witness to the Tussle at the Trestle, a flat, grass-track race happening on lower 31st Street, below Walnut.

Trophy Bikes recommends knobbly tires for this race in West Philly, and be prepared for a run in with rain, snow, or sleet. All bikes are welcome. Mountain, cross country, BMX, whatever. Prizes will be awarded to the top cyclists.

Meet up at 1:30PM under the Walnut St Bridge, race kicks off at 2PM sharp. Good luck! Be sure to take some pictures, and send them on over. Take a look at the flyer after the jump!

About the Blogger

Hi! I'm Eric. I'm a Springsteen-loving, Bon-Jovi singing Jersey boy who recently up and left, relocating to the awesome city of Philadelphia. I teach literature and writing courses at Montgomery County College and Holy Family University, and also work for GPTMC, causing my coworkers to wonder if I have any kind of life. I don't. I enjoy photography, writing, reading, and playing Halo III. I spend a lot of time fussing over my chinchilla, Mittens. He's adorable, and you'll love him.
