7/9/26 – Thursday Night Ride (Dubbs Grub)

Hi Everyone,

We’re back! And excited for another Thursday night ride with all of you. We have a lovely route planned – Green Grove Reverse.

We’ll start out with a climb up Long Ln (please stay to the right on blind turns and hill tops) to Oak with a nice descent on Paradise. Enjoy the ride out to Spring Mills along Penns Creek Rd. We’ll cross over Rt 45 and head up Allison Rd (anyone else sing the Gin Blossoms on this one??), then roll along Green Grove back to Rt 45. You’ll be on Rt 45 for roughly 400yds before turning left onto Heckman Cemetery Rd. Please ride the shoulder and listen for cars – they come up quick. Orndorff Rd will take you back onto Oak and Long Lane into Millheim.

Food Truck:

We’ll be welcoming Dubbs Grub back to fuel us up after the ride
