The Lancaster Bicycle Club is a road-based recreational club for cyclists of all levels.
The Club carefully plans rides and related events such as bike-safety courses that result in self-confidence, physical fitness, and improved riding skills for cyclists. The Club also hosts numerous social events and supports bicycle-related initiatives through its grant program. The Club has awarded over $530,000 in grants since 1999.
Whether you are an experienced rider or new to bike riding, you can find a variety of suitable rides here on Lancaster Bicycle Club’s Meetup site. Rides are held year round.
Your Meetup membership does not mean you are a Lancaster Bicycle Club member. To eliminate the need for a paper waiver at the ride start, we require club membership in addition to Meetup. You can join today at [lancasterbikeclub.net. ](https://lancasterbikeclub.net)
For proper verification of membership we do not allow anonymous Meetup IDs. Please sign up with a first and last name in order for your request to join be approved.
Thank You.

Anticipated average pace: 16-18 mph
Cue and GPX link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52285053
Join us for a Lancaster County cycling rite of passage: Round the River! Epic climbs, epic scenery!
We will start at Columbia River Park, cross the bridge to Wrightsville, then head south along the river to the Norman Wood Bridge (rt 372), cross back to Lancaster County, and then head north back to Columbia.
The plan is to keep the group together by regrouping when necessary (most likely at the top of hills), but riders are free to ride ahead if they want.
Few water stops, if any, so bring enough water for the whole ride just in case.
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 an LBC Club membership and Meetup RSVP below to join this ride.
