There are rides for all ages and ability levels, from a 5.5-mile family fun ride to 26-mile and 50-mile rides for the more experienced riders.  We will have the same routes as last year and the same wonderful SAGs with homemade snacks and fresh strawberries from a local farmer with a lunch at 11:00 at St. Mary of the Knobs Church.
