This year’s event is being held on Saturday September 9rd at Kings Gap State Park, Dickinson Township, Cumberland County, PA. The event runs from 8 to 11 AM (so you’ll have the rest of your Saturday for other fun things). All riders 15 and over are welcome to participate. The registration fee is just $20. And there will lots of fun prizes, as well as refreshments and camaraderie with fellow cyclists in a beautiful setting. The climb to the top of Kings Gap is a gradual 3.5 miles through a quiet, traffic-free wooded area. Riders leave at regular intervals and are timed individually as they reach the finish line.
