Aug. 8 to Sunday Aug. 10 | Join us in historic Carlisle in the beautiful Cumberland Valley of
central Pennsylvania. Register early, as space is limited. Cost is
$395. per tandem team.
We'll stay at Dickinson College, a lovely small liberal arts school founded in 1783. Its Food Services has consistently been selected as one of the top ten College dining facilities in the country. Located adjacent to Carlisle's Public Square, the College and the nearby area offers interesting architecture, restaurants, and antique shops. Just outside of town, the roads change from town streets with colonial homes to the beautiful tandem-friendly rolling country roads of the Cumberland Valley, many of which follow the area's shady rivers including the Yellow Breeches. The nearby Allenberry Resort, site of the Saturday Picnic, is built on the banks of this famous trout stream. You'll enjoy scenic rides past historic stone houses and barns surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. |
