Within a ninety minute drive from Erie, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, our full service tour in beautiful Western PA features Amish countryside, lakes, a few hills for century riders and some seldom seen spots. Four routes of 15, 35, 65 and 100 miles . Support vehicles patrol the course, but bikes should be in good working order; riders are encouraged to bring tubes, patches, tools, pump, etc. Helmet is also required.
