Below are two files I’m using for my ‘Hike & Bike Trails In Bucks and Montgomery Counties’ presentation to be given to Center for Learning in Retirement members during my March 24, 2026 virtual class. The approach I plan to take with this class is to help those interested in hiking or biking these trails to learn how to find the information they’ll need a) to choose a trail of interest, b) to get relevant information such as where to park, how difficult the trail will be for their particular situation, where food and bathroom stops might be, etc., and c) to print out maps and/or brochures to assist with their adventure when they get there.
In Bucks and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, we have many completed trails and more on the way, so many good options for those wanting to explore the natural beauty and rich history in this part of the world. Also during this presentation I plan to talk about something I’m keen on which is how ‘electric’ bicycle technology fits into the trails picture. I know there are some that think e-bikes are evil and have no place on our trails. But as an ‘older person’ presenting to individuals how might not be adventuring on these trails without the assistance of e-bike technology, I believe I owe to my listeners to talk about e-bikes in the context of our local trail systems. And for those specifically interested in e-bikes, here’s a link from a CLR presentation from 2024: All About Electric Bicycles
So for those wanting to read ahead before tomorrow’s Trails presentation, here are the two files I’ll be using. The first one is the actual presentation. The second is the script I’ll be using to demonstrate various web sites I’m referencing during the discussion. Note that there are many ‘active links’ (text you can click on to take you to specific web sites) throughout the presentation you can click on to get more information. I’ll go over all this during the presentation, so not to worry if this is a bit confusing now. I guarantee it will be more so by the time I’m done!
Now for the presentation materials. Enjoy!
