Our weekend rides consist of riding on Friday (optionally), Saturday, and Sunday (optionally). Roads are usually marked, cue sheets and GPS files provided, and we almost always meet together for dinner and drinks. Usually, riders make their own hotel reservations.

10:30 am Saturday ride start.
Choose between 28- or 66- mile courses.
-After-ride Happy Hour (beers & wine) and our traditional Pie Feast (Apple & Pumpkin Pies, plus Peaches). Hence the name of the ride!
-Both courses start at 10:30am and ride together for the first 9 miles before the shorter 28-miler starts its return.
-And both are mostly rolling with smooth, low traffic roads.
-Courses will be GPS- and Garmin-friendly, plus have road markings.
-NO rest stops but both courses have convenience stores along the way.
-Optional Sunday morning ride (9am....20-30 miles....Big Pool or Hancock Md and back).

Proposed 2024 Tour: Jim Thorpe, PA
Three-day Ride Genius Tour for Tuesday September 17 – Friday September 20.
FYI: The Town of Jim Thorpe is located in the Pocono Mountains. It is a beautiful & quaint town with great restaurants galore. All three routes will leave from the same hotel (SORRY, there are NO Hancock Motels in the area so we will have to find somewhere else to stay!) Just an idea, but this one may be good to make it a “Honeydo” ride and bring the spouses along…i.e. …nice shops and sight-seeing. The lineup will be:
Tuesday: Trail ride at 1:00 pm on the Lehigh Trail (30-50 miles, your choice); Check in to the hotel (the Jim Thorpe Inn), happy hour and dinner that night. Wednesday: trail/road combo ride (40 miles). Thursday: Hotel checkout, head to Wellsboro PA to ride some of the Pine Creek Trail. Friday: Short ride and go home.
* Easier daily routes provided upon request.
Then go home!
As always, our R&D team/Brain Trust (Phil and Bill) will do our best to make this ride a R.G.A.E. (Ride Genius Approved Event!)….and hopefully a late Summer early Fall tradition!
In the meantime…..Keep Pedaling!
