Updating my review as Philadelphia Runner in general is my favorite running store and this…read morelocation, no offense to CC or UC, is my favorite. Yes, I live in Manayunk so it gets a home town bump! Philadelphia Runner (PR) in general has everything you need to get into or continue running. People often ask me what type of shoes I run in. I reply, why not go for a fitting at PR and explore your options. After all, what works for me might not for you. The PR team will walk new runners through their options and key considerations while providing whatever support a seasoned runner will need. I love it! I get my "supplies" here as well - gels for long runs and the occasional new shorts or shirts to look as good as I feel. They also host our Thursday night runs - all faces all paces welcome, 6:30PM every Thursday. Net - a few years since my last review, but still top quality from PR Manayunk!

Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

Absolutely amazing professional guides!!…read more I hired this company to guide me through the winters treacherous water fall trails of Ricketts Glen that is normally closed off for hikers that don't have the explicitly specific required safety gear for winter hikes which this company provides. The guides were patient and helpful with the small group in getting gear on and going over all the safety equipment. They were never impatient with anyone and insanely kind. You could tell the guides truly enjoyed bringing everyone out to this amazing trail at Ricketts Glen State Park. I wasn't sure what to expect but OMG it was worth the money spent to have these guys/gals guide me through the trails. I took tons of pictures and was never rushed at all while taking in the views and photos. This company comes highly recommended amongst the hiking community even out of state.

My go-to Bike shop!…read more I moved to the area and was pleased to find that they rent high-end mountain bikes. I took out a couple and ultimately decided I wanted to buy a giant trance X. After a few rides, I was hooked. Their main differentiator - they let you rent any bike in the shop as a demo and then purchase it. This is what I did. I ended up purchasing the giant Trance X bike that I had ridden after just a couple of days. Their team are super knowledgeable, patient, and helpful bike experts. Thanks, Cadence so thrilled with my new bike and appreciative of your help getting back into the sport. Loyal customer.

My experience form beginning to end was fantastic. I think one thing that seems to bother most people is the BBQ lunch. The BBQ lunch was apart of my package and when I arrived they were just loading the buns to be taken out on the river. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but you'll understand in a minute. When I arrived, there were already several eager adventurous folks checking in, buying waterproof items for sale, collecting their water rafts and some even already on the water. I checked in with my Groupon and as directed, I left my keys - collected my Kayak and proceeded to the bus. Please note, the rule is, everyone must wear a mask until you're actually on the water; great rule as it gets crowded in the shop as well as on the bus. It keeps everyone safe. I chose the kayak experience which was awesome but the real fun is in a tube. After my journey down the river, I immediately purchase another Groupon just so that I could come back and have a tubing experience. So, back to the BBQ lunch. By the time I paddles my way down (a few signs for the waters edge for direction) to the BBQ shack on the water, they were still setting up. I guess I paddle too fast. I decided to keep moseying down the river as I had already packed a lunch just in case after reading the reviews about the BBQ shack not being up and running. Oh well, next time I'll enjoy a burger. Again, this is the perfect mid week escape. The ride outside of NY is quick and there's plenty of parking. Although it says Delaware tubing it's actually located in New Jersey; well at least the border between the two. I would recommend going early and taking as much time as you like in a tube with family and friends. I would also recommend bringing children as they will develop a lifelong love of being on the water. I'm a big fan now and I can't wait to return in a few weeks. P.S. I was told by my bus driver, they offer a fall foliage experience where they only allow kayaks on the river.
