Weekend Rides

Adams Fall Orchard Ride

We will ride around Adams County to view any colorful fall leaves remaining in the apple and peach orchards.

We'll meander along the quiet country roads surrounding Lewistown. It's not flat, but there are no long hills. One planned rest stop approximately half-way through the ride, and we'll stop as desired by the group. We will ride as a group and no one will be left behind.

New Year's Day Ride

Start the new year out right by participating in your favorite activity. No, it's not making fun of Katie Couric's hair at the Rose Bowl Parade. We're talking bike ride baby! Come out in the middle of winter for this life affirming ride and keep at least one new year's resolution to ride your bike in 2007. Watch the Frederick Pedaler's Yahoo! Group for more info.

Sundays 8:00 or 9:00 am A/B 35-50 Wheel Base
The Sunday Morning Road Ride

The entire group stays together for about an hour then usually breaks into two smaller groups, a faster ride and a slower ride. Ride goes if it is not too windy and the roads are dry. Start times vary during the year based on shop hours so contact the shop in advance for more information.
