7/31/25 – Thursday Night Ride (Adam and Nancy’s Paninis)

Boal City BrewingJoin us @ Boal City for a State College Road Ride!

We’re excited to spend the afternoon with PVPP Sponsor Boal City Brewing. Haven’t been? It’s a brewery with biking in their blood. Enjoy the bike museum at the entrance, fresh brews carefully crafted by Mike Smith with an innovative spirit and unmatched attention to detail, cocktails and mocktails, and an amazing atmosphere of indoor/outdoor seating you’re sure to enjoy. And this Saturday’s Food Truck? Adam and Nancy’s Paninis!

We’ll leave the brewery this Saturday at 11am, guided by BCB Founder Gordy Kauffman, for a ride around State College. Don’t want to ride in State College? That’s OK! Come for the fun! Brewery opens at noon. Get RIDE DETAILS/RSVP.


Thursday Night Ride Cancelled!

Cancellation due to potential rain. In addition, the Fire Co. is prepping to pour concrete at the pavilion and the tables and chairs have already been removed. Check out this footage from June’s unplanned Rain Ride!

Rain Day

Hi Everyone!

Even with the hot weather, we welcomed around 85 riders last week! Thanks all for continuing the fun with us regardless of the temps.

Gregg Twp Parade is Thursday @7pm. Please be aware of the extra traffic around Spring Mills on your way out from SC.

Thursday is currently calling for potential thunderstorms. Hopefully they miss us, but keep an eye on your email, social media or our website for cancellation announcements.

Thank you Adam and Nancy’s Paninis for filling in the gap this week with a return trip to Pedals and Pints! We’re glad to have you join us once again.
