READ IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW:

No change to parking. New ride start locations.

49th ANNUAL

Union Mills Homestead CORN ROAST FESTIVAL

Saturday, August 3, 2019

IMPORTANT UPDATE

NEW RIDE START / END LOCATIONS

This change does not affect where BBC riders will park.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the starting and ending locations for the rides have changed. We have been prohibited from using the pavilion/parking lot. The Homestead does not own this property.

All rides will START at the entrance to the Homestead, turn right onto Rt.97 and then turn right onto Old Hanover Rd.

For the 40, 52 and 64 mile riders: The rides will END on Old Hanover Road 0.2 miles PAST the pavilion/parking lot and JUST BEFORE Deep Run Rd. There you will need to dismount and walk on the grass back to the foot bridge that leads to the Homestead parking lot.

The 28 mile riders will dismount at the END OF Deep Run Rd to walk on the grass back to the foot bridge that leads to the Homestead parking lot.

I hope that this inconvenience will not discourage riders from joining these terrific rides and Corn Roast Festival.
