*All 4 rides have plenty of climbing. You'll definitely work up an appetite for the Corn Roast. Be sure to check the ride schedule/forum for last minute updates.
UPDATE: CUE SHEETS FOR ALL 4 RIDES WILL BE AVAILABLE BY 7am.
Turn right into the Union Mills Homestead from Rt 97. Follow bike event signs to the parking area. Riders will sign in and get their cue sheets just before the foot bridge that leads to the pavilion. After signing in and getting cue sheets, riders will proceed over the foot bridge to the pavilion. Ride leaders will meet their groups at the pavilion.
After the rides, you can purchase meal tickets ($13.00) and join this unique community event, RAIN OR SHINE 11am - 5pm. The meal includes fried chicken, sliced Maryland tomatoes, applesauce, rolls and butter, lemonade, iced tea and ALL THE ROASTED CORN YOU CAN EAT. The corn is roasted over wood fires, a real treat. There are tours of the Homestead, grist mill and blacksmith shop. Live music adds to the festive atmosphere.
Consider bringing a cooler because there are no free refills for lemonade or iced tea.
