Day 1 - Saturday, October 17th
Participants will meet at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Office in Scranton at 9 AM, where both riders and bikes will be shuttled to Ararat. This is the starting point of the day’s ride along the scenic D&H Trail.
From Ararat, cyclists will enjoy a gradual descent back into the valley, crossing onto the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail before lunch in Carbondale. Riders will finish before 5 PM at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Office. Bicycles will be securely stored here overnight.
That evening, riders and their guests are invited to a relaxed reception at Groove Brewing, featuring food and a selection of complimentary beverages for registered participants. It’s a great opportunity to unwind, connect with fellow cyclists, and celebrate the first day’s ride.
Light breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks will be provided on Saturday.
Day 2 - Sunday, October 18th
The second day begins at Test Track Park in Berwick at 8 AM, where participants will gather and board shuttle transportation back to Scranton. After retrieving their bikes at the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Office, riders will set off on a 45-mile ride back to Berwick. This day’s route features a mix of trail, including the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, Luzerne County Levee Trail, and Susquehanna Warrior Trail, and additional on-road segments.
Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided on Sunday.
Riders must get themselves to the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority Office by 9 AM on Saturday AND to Test Track Park in Berwick by 8 AM on Sunday. Riders will be shuttled to the start of the route each day and will end at their cars. Riders must bring their own bicycles; however, all meals, shuttles, swag, insurance, guides, and route maps are included with registration. Event is rain or shine.
