Pick up a newsletter, hear more about PVCA projects and learn how you can get involved.

Hi Everyone!
We had a great ride to The Olde Village Mercantile last week for ice cream and other sweet treats…yeah we saw you filling little bags with nostalgic candy favorites! Thanks, Beth, for filling our cones and feeding our sweet tooth.
This week we plan to ride the Apple Butter Loop one more time. There is rain in the forecast but we hope it will pass us by. If we have to cancel, we’ll do so by 4pm in email, on social and here on our website.
FOOD TRUCK: Gourmet Griddle
We’re excited for the return of Gourmet Griddle this week! They did not disappoint last month – remember the burger with BACON JAM?? The Hawaiian with pineapple? Elote Bowl? Can’t wait to see what’s on their menu for us this week!
Announcement: End of Year Ride 9/27
We’re changing things up this year! Instead of our traditional Sunday ride and picnic, our End-of-Year Ride will be held on Saturday, September 27th—the same day as Elk Creek Café’s Oktoberfest, with proceeds benefiting the Millheim Fire Company. These folks generously support us by offering their new pavilion and providing safety escorts through the Narrows during our Brush Valley rides, and now it’s our turn to show up for them.
If interested is volunteering before, during or after the event, check out the opportunities and sign up here. For a 2 hour shift, you’ll be rewarded with FREE Admission + a Mug + Beer and Food tokens.

- PVPP provides a welcoming environment for all riders, any bike and speed.
- Arrive between 5:15pm and 6pm (park in the field behind Millheim Fire Company).
- We leave promptly at 6pm for our marked 17-22 mile ride (with short-cut options).

What to bring:
- Any bicycle (road, gravel, mountain, recumbent, electric, etc.)
- A helmet (this is a MUST)
- Water bottle
- $3 Donation – Credit Cards accepted (proceeds are donated to local PV charities at the end of the season)
