7/23/26 – Thursday Night Ride (Dubbs Grub)
Brookside’s Mifflinburg Ice Cream Ride this Saturday!
We’ll meet at Brookside Bikes at 10:30am (arrive early to sign in – no fee – and check out the shop and deals). We’ll then head out as a group for a back roads ride to the Old Mill Creamery. We’ll head back to the rail trail where you can set your own pace and enjoy as much of Purple Cow Ice Cream and Eatery, and Amy’s Frosty Freeze as you’d like. Road, gravel or MTB friendly.

The weather looks like it’s finally going to give us a break with a beautiful 76 degree ☀️ Thursday night (and a 79 degree 🌤 mostly sunny Saturday for the Brookside Bikes Ice Cream Ride!). Download the PVPP – Big Oak to Harter Loop below. This one is a hilly ride. There are options to lengthen and shorten it below.
- Stay in your lane: especially on the hills.
- Politely pass: announce “on your left” when passing other riders.
- Single up when cars pass in either direction.

This Week’s Route:
7/23 ROUTE Download the PVPP – Big Oak to Harter Loop (17.8 miles)
Extend it: At mile 9, skip the left turn onto Harter. Stay straight on Upper Georges Valley, then turn left on Reeder, then left onto Lower Georges to rejoin the route (20.2 miles)
Shorten it: There’s a lot of hills on this route. Avoid 2 (including a big one) by skipping the Georges/Harter Loop. At mile 7.7 (the bottom of Immel Rd/Beaver Dam) turn left onto Penns Creek Rd instead of right. Follow the remainder of the route back to Millheim. (14.8 miles)
