About this event

Time for a challenge! We're going to climb Whisky Springs! You can do it!


Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44841669 Note that the route is 31.6 miles... a little bit farther than the usual C ride. This route is pretty gentle riding except for the Whiskey Springs 2-mile climb. You can climb at your own pace. No need to rush. We will regroup at the top before continuing on. A bike with low climbing gears is a real asset for this hill. This route avoids almost all the riding on busy S. Mountain Road. It should be a beautiful ride on a lovely, warm day. There are rest stops where restrooms/port-a-pots are available but not food or water.



Departure time: 12:30 p.m.

Place: Mechanicsburg High School, 500 S. Broad Street, Mechanicsburg. Park in the lot near the tennis courts, off Williams Grove Road.

Pace: This ride will be a true C pace of 11-13 mph.

Leader: Marilyn Chastek 717-798-4537 mchastek2009@gmail.com
