REGISTRATION REQUIRED IF COMING FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY
Come to Greencastle, Pennsylvania the weekend of June 10 - 12 for one, two or three days of cycling in the breathtakingly beautiful Cumberland Valley. Here you will find a cyclist's paradise with a network of well-maintained, low-traffic roads laid down on a gently rolling landscape of farms, villages and small towns, framed by a soft blue mountain backdrop in almost any direction you look.
You can choose from a selection of 20 or more rides, ranging in length from 25 to 100 miles. All rides start and end in the north (last) parking lot of Antrim Township Community Park on Grant Shook Road. The park has water and restrooms. Start times are 9:30 a.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Rides are leaderless and without SAG support, and participants must sign liability waivers at the start of each ride, just as they would if they were going on a normal BBC weekend ride.
All rides have been posted to the cue library, with a ride start of ATP -- Antrim Township Community Park. BYOQ -- BRING YOUR OWN CUESHEET! There will very few printed cuesheets available at the ride start. You might want to print out cuesheets for several different rides in case you change your mind when you get there. You can also get cuesheets and gps files from the club's RidewithGPS page.
