Happy Valley is a world-class hub for cyclists, home to everything from wooded singletrack to smooth road rides.

We are planning to have at least 2-3 different routes to choose from each day, depending on interest.

Road – It doesn't take long to get out onto quieter country roads and experience the "Happy Valley" scenery. These rides will likely be 30-50 miles.

We've put together the best of the best. A library of 20-30 of the most highly recommended of routes from local clubs, organizations, and riders. These routes will available to you to use for this event. Most are relatively flat, but you will find some challenging routes too, climbing into some of the state forests, while remaining on paved roads. Most start from the hotel, but we also have a few remote starts within 30 minutes from the hotel.

Gravel – Black Moshannon and Rothrock State Forests – each with miles of gravel roads – are both within 30 minutes of State College.

Black Mo', as locals refer to it has been the venue for Pennsylvania Environmental Council annual fundraiser ride in support of PA's public lands for a number of years. If you're the least bit interested in what that route is like, I highly recommend that you check out the video, below.
