A/B Ride - WET Three Earls Excursion (50R) - Guest club is Velo City from B’more

Update - The current weather forecast is a chance of rain. That said, we are still planning to host this ride for anyone who wants to brave the weather. We will also still serve food at the end of the ride under a covered pavilion. This update will be revised on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so check back.

Update - There is a closed bridge on the original route, so please re-download the route below with the new bridge detour added.

We’ll be hosting the Velo City Riders Cycling Club from Greater Batimore for a lovely jaunt through bucolic West, Central and East Earl Townships of Lancaster County, featuring creeks, rivers, and Mennonite and Amish farmsteads. A great mix of flat, rolling and hilly terrain. You won't see many cars on this route!

The ride will be followed by a cookout/picnic at West Earl Township Bldg Park. If you plan to stay for the picnic, please complete this GSheet sign-up form.

Ride leaders : Matt Pammer (A) and Dave Evans (B)

Anticipated Average Pace: 16-19 mph

Cue and GPX: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50697650

This is an Advanced level ride. The ride leader will ride at the advertised average speed. This is intended to be a group ride with a no-drop rule as the main goal. The ride leader will do his best to keep the group together with occasional regroupings and a sweeper may also be appointed at the start.

Please do not join this ride if you are not willing to stick with the group. If maintaining a 16-19 mph average is beyond your current ability level, please consider joining an "Intermediate" ride first.

Helmets are mandatory. No earbuds. Please bring water and a basic repair kit (spare tube, tire levers, pump/CO2 inflator).
To eliminate passing around a pen and paper waiver, we require LBC Club membership and Meetup RSVP below to join this ride.
