Hi Everyone!
Join the PVPP crew this Thursday, May 15th for the first ride of 2025. We’re unbelievably excited to kick things off with Dubbs Grub Food Truck. Their crew is eager to get us refueled under the NEW pavilion upon return from our signature APPLE BUTTER LOOP ride!
If you’re new to Pedals and Pints, expect a welcoming environment for all riders, any speed. Please park in the field behind Millheim Fire Company, arriving between 5:15pm and 6pm. We leave promptly at 6pm for our marked 17-22 mile ride (with short-cut options). A PVPP support truck will be parked along the route with water to refill your bottle; it will also come to your aid should you have a flat or other issue.
Safety note:
Penns Valley has beautiful but narrow roads. Please stay in your lane (especially around curves/turns and crests of hills), leave room for other riders and cars to pass, realign to single file when cars are passing, and communicate.
What to bring:
- Any pedal powered bike (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)
- An appetite! Along with Jay pouring Elk Creek beers, we’ll have different food trucks each week. You are also welcome to head inside to Elk Creek Cafe.
Food Truck:
Dubbs Grub – Where chef-inspired cuisine meets the street.From juicy burgers smashed to order, to crispy fried chicken sandwiches, Thai noodles and potato latkes, our menu celebrates bold flavors from a variety of cultures, always seasoned to perfection.
