OHIO RIVER TRAIL COUNCIL

Tour of Mercer County - Sharon, PA

Tour of Mercer County - 15, 35, 65, and 100-mile Bike Ride

Come out for a ride! This is part of a road and trail ride series sponsored by the Ohio River Trail Council (ORTC) intended to bring awareness to the wonderful bike routes and trails in our quad-state region (Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia). All cyclists are welcome for this rails-to-trails, moderate-paced ride! 

Join us, as the Ohio River Trail Council supports the Mercer County Trails Association. Registration begins at 7:00 AM and closes at 10:00 AM at the Quaker Steak & Lube Restaurant, 101 Chestnut Street, Sharon, Pa 16146.
 
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. For additional information, visit http://mctrails.org/1399-2/
