Amish Country Bike Tour

Thank you all for coming to our 24th Annual Amish Country Bike Tour! Here are some things you may like to know:

• We hosted 1309 cyclists from Georgia, New Mexico, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Massashusetts, Georgia, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Connecticut and Indiana!
• We had a gentleman in his 70s at our ride whose goal was to ride a century in every state and Delaware was his 30th achievement!
• The youngest cyclist to pedal his own bike was five years old and he completed the 15-mile loop.
• The last cyclist returned at 5:15PM
• We are able to donate $287 to the Amish Schoolhouse fund because of your donations. We will also be making donations to the Central Delaware YMCA, USO Delaware and the three churches who hosted our other food stops.

The weather was ideal and the pies were tasty.
