The Lancaster Bicycle Club is a road-based recreational club for cyclists of all levels.
The Club carefully plans rides and related events such as bike-safety courses that result in self-confidence, physical fitness, and improved riding skills for cyclists. The Club also hosts numerous social events and supports bicycle-related initiatives through its grant program. The Club has awarded over $530,000 in grants since 1999.
Whether you are an experienced rider or new to bike riding, you can find a variety of suitable rides here on Lancaster Bicycle Club’s Meetup site. Rides are held year round.
Your Meetup membership does not mean you are a Lancaster Bicycle Club member. To eliminate the need for a paper waiver at the ride start, we require club membership in addition to Meetup. You can join today at [lancasterbikeclub.net. ](https://lancasterbikeclub.net)
For proper verification of membership we do not allow anonymous Meetup IDs. Please sign up with a first and last name in order for your request to join be approved.
Thank You.

Alltrails We'll hike parts of this.
There are portable toilet facilities in the parking lot. There should also be a portable toilet midway.
Please bring your own water and energy snack and first aid kit. I always strongly encourage bringing hiking poles although this particular hike is not too strenuous.
I have not made reserverations for lunch after the hike. If we get done in time some of us may want to try getting individual tables of 3-5 at the Porch and Pantry in Mount Gretna. They close at 1:00. If that does not work out, some may wish to try The Hideaway in Mount Gretna or Colebrook Tavern in Colebrook.

Challenging Ride (A) - Sunday Worlds (32R)
Millersville Mart & Julie's Kitchen, 473 N George St, Millersville, PA, USAnticipated average pace: 18-20 mph
Cue and GPX link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45180282
This ride has been a classic in Lancaster County for a long time. The route is unique in that it starts and finishes at two different locations. As a result, most cyclists ride to the start and then ride home from the finish.
It starts at the Millersville Mart: 473 N George St, Millersville, PA 17551 (pictured) and the finish is at the new Bierhall Brewing Company: 1703 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, PA 17601. The Bierhall is open for lunch, so riders are welcome to stop in after the ride.
This is a Challenging (A) level ride and intended to be a NO DROP RIDE. The ride leader will ride at the advertised average speed and will do his/her best to keep the group together with regroupings and a sweeper may also be appointed at the start. Please do not join this ride if you are not willing to stick with the group. If maintaining an 18-20mph average is beyond your current ability level, please consider joining an "Advanced" ride first.
Helmets are mandatory. No earbuds. Please bring water and a basic repair kit (spare tube, tire levers, pump/CO2 inflator).
