26 Carefully Planned Tours for Bicyclists & Motorists
The Lancaster Bicycle Club is pleased to offer to the public this compilation of our favorite rides. The tours range from 7 to 84 miles in length. Include for each ride are:
- Ride Descriptions and Points of Interest.
- Detailed Cue Sheets.
Most tours ride through picturesque, bucolic farm land, generally on lightly traveled roads. For city lovers, there are a couple of downtown rides also. The terrain is is also varied from flat easy loops to rolling farm country to challenging hilly rides.
Each ride is rated according to its difficulty. The "Difficulty" classification system is:
- Difficult terrain. Hilly. May include hills of 8% or steeper gradient. Some long (up to one mile) hills may be encountered. All rides of 65 miles and over in length are classified as "A" due to the length. Multi-speed bikes with low gearing are advised for comfortable riding.
- Moderate terrain. Some hills, usually short and less than 8% gradient. Multi-speed bikes with moderate gearing are suitable.
- Flat terrain. Some rolling hills. These are good rides for those new to cycling.
These rides are offered to the public, free of charge.
