Annual Spring-n2-CyclingWeekend

Fri., May 4 to Sun., May 6, 2007,

In Pennsylvania’s green, scenic Susquehanna Valley

You can sign up and pay online, but please refer to this page for info.

 

We will be staying in the quaint, historic town of Danville, which lies along the Susquehanna River.

Danville is nine miles west of Bloomsburg [a university town & site of an LAB cycling rally in 2000],

and 16 miles east of the charming town of Lewisburg, home of Bucknell University’s lovely campus. 

Between towns, we cycle along pastoral landscapes and lots of historic covered bridges.

This picturesque region of Pennsylvania is well-known for its local cycling teams and annual rides.

The terrain is mostly flat-to-rolling, although ample hills can be found for the challenge-seekers.

PLEASE NOTE:

Our event will NOT conflict with SCU’s Quad County Metric – the QCM is the following week (Sat, May 12).
