Event Information
Come and join cyclist and spinners that will come together for our first two day event in Central Pa. New this year we will have a Mountain Bike Challenge being held on day two near Pine Grove Furnace. This is still in the planning stage, but it promises to be an exciting addition to our event.

Whether you are a beginner or avid cyclist, there is a route for you. Road routes from a 25K to a 100K will be supported with rest stops, SAGS and communications. There will also be a 9K family ride for the young ones to participate.

Having no bike is no excuse. Going on in the gymnasium will be our second spin-a-thon. We will have 25 spin bikes and a motivated instructor to lead the classes. If you choose to participate in the spin, you be contacted by a volunteer to reserve a bike for one of the four planned sessions.

When you have completed your ride or spin session, a hot meal, music, and a massage will be provided.

Day two will be the Mountain Bike Challenge. It will be held at a location still to be determined near Pine Grove Furnace. It will be a well marked single track route through Pine Grove Furnace State Park. Approx. distance of route will be 14 miles. Please note that this is not for beginner riders. You should have some experience in riding in an off road environment. There will be rocks, logs, and occasionally a stream to cross. Safety will be paramount. This Web site will be updated with more detailed information as it becomes available.

The Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Whether participants ride 10 miles or 100 miles*, they will travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel the journey and fans to cheer them on!

Last year, more than 32,000 cyclists in 78 Tour events raised nearly $13 million to support the mission of the ADA: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
