OVER THE HILL RIDE June 3, 2026

Hi everyone, this week's Over the Hill ride will be a fine mix of urban and nature riding, taking us from our meeting place at CAT (33 W. Walnut Street, Bethlehem) to the excellent French bakery Sophistique in Allentown. We'll start gathering at 9:15 a.m., with a ride start time of 9:30. We'll take the roads to Allentown, traveling on smaller, quiet roads where possible, and on the return trip we'll ride the D & L Trail. You'll find the details of the route here. The total round trip mileage is a little over 13 miles.

The Over the Hill ride is for people who are free during day - riders of all ages and ability/fitness levels are welcome. No one will be dropped. Most all bikes are appropriate for this ride; though the trail portion is unpaved, it's mostly packed dirt and quite level.

Some kind reminders:

1. This ride is weather permitting. Please check Meetup for any changes or cancellations.
