Frank,
Great idea. We'll keep this option on the table and look for you on the
ride.

Don't forget to add me. It sounds like you may have your five already;
you, 
me, Dom, Deb, & Ira. I have a thought so as not to close out the ride 
because of the train issue. Basically I'm sure many more will want to
go. 
Anyway I could take a sub group to the 30th Street Station while you do
the 
12 mile Delaware piece. We would take the 9:09 out of 30th Street on the
R7 
to Trenton instead of the R3 so as not to bump your Delaware group from
the 
train. It is only 6 miles from the R7 Trenton station to the R3 Yardley 
station using the Calhoun Street Bridge to cross the Delaware River. The

Trenton train would drop us off at 9:54 giving us half an hour to meet
up 
with you. The area in Trenton immediately around the station is a little

seedy so we'll be pedaling fast but should be fine as it opens up
quickly. 
Also I'm very familiar with the local eateries on the "E" Route between 
Tacony & Port Richmond. The demolition project I'm running is in the 
Bridesburg section along the river so I head out that way every day for
a 
sandwich. I suspect we should hit this area right around 1:00. Anyway
it's 
your ride but I thought this option would help as I'm sure many others
would 
like to join us and there is also the potential for no calls arriving at
the 
Tinicum lot for the 7:00 start. What do you think?
