2nd annual DelCo 7 stop bicycle ride Aug. 10

Posted

Deacon Doc Mike Freeman, an avid bicyclist, is asking serious riders to save the date for the Second Annual Delaware County Bicycle Ride. Riders will enjoy pedaling beautiful Delaware County roads following a planned 75 mile route for fun, fitness, meeting people, exploring the beautiful back roads of Delaware County, and optionally stopping at fun county area businesses for refreshment breaks.

A description of the 75 mile route, including mileages and refreshment stops, will be emailed to those interested. There is NO cost. Bring your own snacks but water coolers and some support vehicles are strategically located. This is in addition to biking through magnificent farmland, encountering friendly residents, and riding roads alongside the Cannonsville Reservoir.

The ride will begin at MoltoMolto at 151 Delaware Street in Walton - a place where all good journeys begin and we will be led out of town with an antique lead out car like last year. First, fuel up with a delicious breakfast, and receive a detailed profile of road gradients, shoulders, surfaces, and traffic patterns. The route avoids excessive climbs and is NOT a race. The 75-mile course will end at Awestruck Mill in Walton. Bicyclists will meet up 7:30 a.m. and begin the journey by 8 a.m. The other five fun stops on the 75 mile route are Masonville General Store, Wakeman Coffee Roasters, Muddy River Brewery, Grams Bake Shop, and YOLO!

This ride is NOT a sponsored event. It is merely an opportunity for avid bicyclists to get together, have fun, meet new people,  stay fit, and even support local business.
