Personal expense: There will also be cost for one night in a hotel room (two people per room), and for dinner on Saturday. You should expect to pay about $55 for 1/2 room expenses plus any additional expenses for your dinner on Saturday. Make sure you bring a credit card to pay for your room expenses.
Highlights: During our bike ride on Saturday we'll be passing through Amish country. We will stop along the way and talk to an Amish school master for a Q&A as the Amish way of life is discussed. We'll enjoy discussions with members of the Amish community while eating lunch. Our time may also include a farm visit and buggy rides.
For those who are uncomfortable with riding long distances, there will be opportunities for evening practice rides a week prior to the event.
Riders should have basic riding skills and there will be some small hills.
This will be a good opportunity to meet new people, see new places, and get some exercise!
We hope to see you on the Bike Ride!
