Cycling Season Kick Off Party

2026 Cycling Season Kick-Off Party

Let’s kick off the 2026 riding season the right way—with a beer in hand and bikes on the brain!

We’ll meet up Friday, May 1st for a relaxed, social night at Titan Hollow in Bellefonte where cyclists of all kinds—road, gravel, mountain, new, and experienced—can connect, swap stories, and get the scoop on group rides, clubs, races, and events happening around the State College area.

This is your chance to meet your next riding buddy, get plugged into the local cycling scene, and celebrate the return of longer days and two-wheeled adventures.

No agenda. No spandex required. Just good beer, good people, a few prizes and all things bikes. See you there!

Big THANKS to Happy Valley Women’s Cycling for organizing the event again this year.
