17 miles. The lunch stop is at Lake Needwood, approximately 10 miles into the tour.

We will be e-biking from Veirs Mill to Lake Needwood via Lake Bernard Frank and Meadowside Nature Center. The trail is around 17 miles. Toilets are available in the middle.

It includes an optional half-mile excursion on foot to the Pioneer Homestead at Meadowside Nature Center.

Please bring some snacks, lunch, and plenty of water.

You can leave the bike at the nature center or stay with your e-bike. We will have bike guards if someone volunteers. This is an excellent opportunity to address e-bike separation anxiety, if you have any.

We will have a sign and "healthy" cookies/snacks. Bring your own lunch pack. The meeting place is in the parking lot in Veirs Mill Park near the playground.

The group stops a few times for slower riders to catch up. The distance will be 17 miles or less whenever you are fully satisfied with biking for the day.

Pioneer Homestead

Located about a half-mile from the Meadowside Nature Center, this site includes two log cabins, a smokehouse, a corn crib, gardens, and an orchard. Explore elements of farm life in Montgomery County long ago.
