Ride Options
Select from two route options: Trail ride to Brandywine Falls - approximately 20 miles (riders can choose to turn around wherever they need on the trail), or a road/trail ride of approximately 25-30 miles (rolling to hilly).
The ABC requires helmets to be worn while riding in club-sponsored events.
Hot soup and chili provided, participants bring other dishes to share.
Activities
Services consist of maps, limited SAG, food, and a roaring fire at the shelter. The after-ride meal is POT LUCK--please bring a dish to share and your favorite non-alcoholic beverages (alcohol is prohibited in the Park). The Club will supply soups, hot drinks, and plastic utensils. We especially need main dishes, since we get plenty of desserts.
Bike Fair
This year we will be holding a Bike Fair. This is a great opportunity for two groups of people to get to know each other, namely buyers and sellers! Bring your for-sale items and we'll park/place them in the pavilion during the ride. We'll have tags available to mark each item with a price and the owner's name. Please bring BICYCLE-RELATED ITEMS ONLY. This includes bikes and bike components. Items will be sold by the owners and ABC will not be involved in any aspect of the transaction.
Directions
Meet at the Heritage Barn at 5238 Young Road, Stow OH 44224. The heritage Barn is located in the Silver Lake Park.
