Visitors can peek into American history with General George Washington’s headquarters and an encampment of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. \n \nThis is also home to the National Memorial Arch\, modeled after Rome’s Arch of Titus. Dedicated in 1917\, this grand structure memorializes the triumphant arrival of General Washington and the Continental Army during the winter of 1777-78. \n \nNatural beauty also adorns the tour route. Along with the scenic park grounds the Schuylkill River and Perkiomen Creek provide ample waterside vistas to take in along the way. The tour also visits Lower Perkiomen Valley Park\, a popular 107-acre area for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. \n \nThe tour is a Long or Short Tour (LoST) – it comes in two lengths – 15 and 31 miles. Both options explore Valley Forge National Historical Park. The longer tour is more in-depth and travels further along the Schuylkill River Bikeway. With a staggered starting time\, both long and short-distance tourists could ride together from the National Arch to the tasty spot. \n \nThe tasty spot is towards the end of the adventure\, which is friendly to furry friends if you happen to be touring with yours (found on Bring Fido).

Both tours are an 83% bikeway loop mostly on paved bikeways with some crushed stone segments\, and about 50% shaded. In some short segments the route shares the road with motor vehicles. As usual\, the tour comes with the CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. There are a few segments where you might use your bike gears\, but nothing to work up too much of a sweat about. Speaking of sweating – it’s optional.
