We ride in the areas north, west and east of Harleysville, seldom to the south. This means rolling terrain with some interesting hills and light car traffic. We ride a variety of routes with shorter, easier rides in the spring, and longer, harder rides as everyone gets stronger. This is a very popular and sometimes large group. No one will be dropped, but everyone is expected to keep the pace. Contact Joseph Cornell at 215-723-6249.
