Colton Motel: 232 Steinwehr Ave, Gettysburg PA 17325
Both the 25 and the 50 are scenic with very little traffic. The 50 has some really good, long climbs and follows the original Catoctin Challenge route from the late 90’s up & over the Michaux State Forrest and South Mountain. The 25 also follows the CC, but is much easier with scenic views, but only with a few (short) & very doable climbs. For those from Pittsburgh: Suggest making reservations ASAP….We are at the Colton Motel (clean but older motel). Others are the Best Western and Quality Inn on Steinwehr Avenue, but the Colton is less expensive if you book via Expedia. There are many great bars & restaurants within one block of the hotels. A Phil favorite is Gettysburg Eddies, which is a baseball bar with old time photos of HOF Eddie Plank, who grew up in Gettysburg. Rides Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th – and, of course…Apple, Peach and Pumpkin Pies après ride to go with your beers! Questions? Call Phil at 301-693-4503….or use the web contact page.

This ride is always fun
Phill, The OLD folks are planning to be on this ride! We are in the process of getting a BamBuk recumbant e-tandem repaired and ready to ride and are excited to get back to tamdeming. If there is anything we need to do to reserve a spot – Let Us Know. Look forward to catching up.
GAIL & sam
Great…Meet at the Colton Inn, 9:30am Saturday the 7th. Ride starts at 10am….Thx
I have done the Apples, Peaches, many times and my only critique is that there is never any CHERRY PIE! Otherwise well prepared, great routes, well supported and the other riders are always great people! You should try it and all of the rest of the Ride Genius events.
Pedal Pittsburgh is one of the most challenging rides that I have ever done. If you like climbing and thrilling descents you will love this ride. The scenery and views are awesome. Staff is great and support is super. I have received no renumeration for this comment
