This would typically be a three covered bridge ride, but the Utica Bridge is closed until mid-August for repairs.
This is a pleasant ride over mostly low traffic roads with some great views of the mountains and valleys. A shorter and milder 36 mile version is an option (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36622813). Rest stop at Sheetz at mile 20, and at Loy's Station Covered Bridge at mile 32. Both versions are the same until the first rest stop, and after Loy's Station Bridge. Elevation: 42 mile ride (~1900'), 36 miles ride (~1500').
Portojohn and water at start, bathrooms/food at Sheetz, and toilets, but no water at Loy's Station.
Bring a mask. Park in the area adjacent to the volleyball courts when you first enter the park. Paper cue sheets will be available for both rides. Any questions; e-mail levans8@verizon.net
