Join us for a combination bike ride and tailgate, or if you prefer, for one or the other! The rail trail is relatively flat, with variable surfaces (dirt, gravel, and pavement) requiring wider tires than road tires. The trail runs alongside Swatara Creek. Bike riders will meet at the Park entrance (Lickdale interchange) and pedal 10 miles via the rail trail to the Pine Grove interchange (exit 100) of I-81 and then back!! About 20 miles total. This ride being on a rail trail means that everyone can ride a distance and a pace that is correct for them.
After the ride we are going to have a tail gate, please bring something with you to share. Please bring a non-transparent reusable cup to enjoy the beverages we will have to share.
