What we’re about
Welcome to the Lehigh Valley Cycling Club's Meetup Calendar. Here we list our cycling events, and some non-cycling fun as well. Our recreational, social rides are available at various paces and will take you mostly around the counties of Lehigh and Berks. We are blessed to experience the beauty that makes up this part of Pennsylvania.
While we are happy to see so many take an interest in our Ride Calendar, following here does not grant LVCC membership. We would be thrilled to have you all become dues paying LVCC members! Here are some of the benefits:
* We offer a full schedule of road and off-road rides for all levels.
* Insurance coverage for uncovered expenses if involved in a LVCC ride incident
* Grill 'n' Chill rides during the riding season and Annual Picnic
* Annual Holiday Party
* Overnight/weekend cycling trips
* Last but not least, LVCC is host to the now-famous Donut Derby!

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- The Somewhat Annual Leaser Lake Sort of TriathlonLeaser Lake North Ramp, New Tripoli, PA
I rescheduled this event for Friday since the weather looks much better for Friday than Wednesday. Hope you can all still make it.
This event starts with a 30 mile bike ride followed by a hike around the lake and then boating on the lake (BYOB - bring your own boat). The bike ride will be a typical LVCC ride with a sign in sheet for the ride. I will ride a B pace or so but others are welcome to ride faster or slower. Here's the route: Leaser Triathlon
Following the ride you can hike around the lake, have some lunch (again, bring your own) and then stay for a sail or paddle.
In case of any issues, my cell number is 610 909 4679.
Check back at 8:00 before you leave for the ride in case of any changes.
Everyone must wear a helmet and individually sign the LVCC Waiver Release, which I will have with me, to ride with us. Joining Meetup and responding to this event is not a substitute for signing the waiver and if you ride more than 1 time on LVCC rides, you should formally join the club before riding again.
Join here: Jhttps://lvcycling.club/index.php/join - DD Route Checkout Ride - 36mi @ 15.5-16 mphBob Rodale Cycling & Fitness Park, Breinigsville, PA
Pre Donut Derby Route Ride......A new DD route is required due to bridge work over Toad Creek (near Mertztown). Thus, we'd like to ride this route before the DD to ID any road hazards, verify the Q sheet, etc.
Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50983906
This will be a 36 mi ride, no rest stops, target speed between 15.5 - 16 mph. We will be riding on the Lyons/Fleetwood Road for ~3 miles. It has a good shoulder, and we'll ride single file on this section of the route.
We'll leave from the Rodale Parking lot a 9 am.
Hope to C U on Saturday morning.
