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!
