Event information

AS OF AUG 30, THE START BOX IS MISSING. THE CLUB IS IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE BOX. IN THE MEANTIME, CONTACT TOM JACKSON AT thomasjackson@embarqmail.com FOR RIDE DIRECTIONS. The entire Cumberland Valley Rail Trail is sanctioned as an extended distance bike event. You may start where you wish, go north or south, and as far as you wish. Directions are provided for rides of different lengths starting at Shippensburg Station (Mile 0). **** The CVRT has a smooth, crushed stone surface and runs through the beautiful farmland of the Cumberland Valley. Bicycles with a wider tire (hybrid or mountain bike) are recommended; road bikes will have difficulty. Bike helmets must be worn.
