The best way I think is the Cir 1976 East Coast Bicycle Trail map set by the East Coast Bicycle
Congress. The route uses roads on the new Jersey side of the Delaware from Phillipsburg NJ to
Lambertville NJ, entering PA at New Hope and following roads that shadow Rt. 202 to Norristown where
you could link with the Schuylkill Trail. Below is a cue that I use from Philadelphia to the
Bethlehem Musikfest every year. you can to use this to Hatfield. Below this cue is a cue for Bruno
to Lansdale Hatfield. Reverse this will bring you to the end of the Wissahickon trail by making a
left turn. this trail ends at the Schuylkill in about three mile, this trail is hard pack. However,
the paved Schuylkill can be reach by following the BCP road marking about three miles further.
