Sponsor Highlight: Trail2Creek

Trail2Creek is a small town shop offering small town service.Owner, Bill Wolfe started Trail2Creek to offer riders a relaxed repair shop without the pressure of being offered a new bike or gear. He takes old bikes that still have plenty of life and upcycles them with minor repairs or a little TLC to get them back on the road or trail.

You’ll find Trail2Creek in downtown Millheim, open by appointment. Reach out to Bill via Facebook Messenger to find out what he has in stock or to schedule a repair. You can also a view a few of the bikes for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

Hey All!

After several weeks of hilly routes, we’re going to take an easy ride through The Millheim Narrows into Rebersburg for the Back Road Route. Yes, this is the same route we had to cancel two weeks ago. We will have an escort from the Millheim Fire Company to follow us through the Narrows and hold off traffic. Regardless, please stay in your lane and prepare to ride single file as cars and other riders pass. It’s called “The Narrows” for a reason!

NOTE: Creekside will have beer but will NOT have food this week. We encourage you to PRE-ORDER through their website, which has been updated to reflect the new menu. Pick up after the ride at the bar and return to Creekside to enjoy with other riders. You are also welcome to get a table inside and order from the full menu.

REMINDERS:
Park: Behind the Millheim Fire Co. in the grass.
Bring: A bike (any will do, even e-bikes!), helmet, and water bottle; $3 donation requested (cash or credit accepted) – proceeds benefit local charities (Millheim Pool, Millheim Fire Company, Penns Valley Library, Hope Fund, PV EMS, PVCA, etc.).
Waiver: You must sign a waiver once each year. Download ahead/Print here.
Ride Smart! Single file as cars approach/pass, leave room for other riders to pass, stay to the right cresting hills and around curves. STAY IN YOUR LANE!

Thanks and see you Thursday!
