The BEST Ride in PA: THE ICE CREAM LOVERS RIDE (Short Version - 29R)

Join us for a shorter version of the *BEST* Bike Ride in Pennsylvania as featured in Bicycling Magazine. When a longtime member of the Lancaster Bike Club was interviewed for the article, she was quoted saying she thought she’d “died and gone to heaven.” Her version of paradise is Amish country—roadside stands selling homemade root beer, small churches, and a vibe so peaceful that “no one’s ever had to secure their bike to a post.” On this 29-mile route—with just 34 feet per mile of climbing—you will visit Bird-in-Hand Bake Shop (9 miles) for killer sticky buns (and ice cream), hand rolled pretzels at Hayloft Ice Cream (13 miles), and Oregon Dairy (22 miles) where scoops are sized calf, heifer, or cow.

Join us for this famed Bike Ride the day before The 46th Annual Covered Bridge Classic! Still need to register for the Covered Bridge Classic? Head over to [www.CoveredBridgeClassic.com](https://coveredbridgeclassic.com/) and reserve your spot today!
