9/17/26 – Thursday Night Ride (Gourmet Griddle)

FOOD TRUCK: Gourmet Griddle

We’re a not-so-serious group of cyclists who meet up Thursday evenings @ 6pm from May to September to bike, enjoy the beauty of Penns Valley, hang with friends (old and new), and cheers to another great ride. All the while, raising money to support our community – $3 donation requested. Riders of all levels are welcome. Bring any road friendly bike – road, mountain, electric, cruiser, etc. – helmet (required), water (highly recommended), and a great attitude.

Check back here the week of the ride for route details (it changes each week). As always, Jay will be pouring Elk Creek brews after the ride and we’ll hang out under the new Millheim Fire Company pavilion. You are also welcome to head inside to Elk Creek Cafe after the ride.

If we have to cancel the ride due to Inclement weather, we’ll notify you here, on social and by email!

Happy Valley Adventure Bureau
