Scenic Cycling
A seasoned cyclist or a weekend warrior, the River to River Heritage
Bicycle Tour offers a great day of cycling that takes you from the
Delaware to the Schuylkill River through two of Pennsylvania’s most
historic counties – Bucks and Montgomery.
Trek lightly traveled roads adjacent to the scenic Route 113 corridor,
through small, quaint towns with farms, churches and businesses dating
back to the 1700s. Designed like a figure 8, the River to River
Bicycle Tour route begins and ends at the Penn Valley Church in
Telford, Montgomery County, Pa. Rest stops at historic sites will
provide refreshment. Lunch will be served.
Choose 25, 50, 75 or 100 mile routes through varied terrain. There
will not be a mass start time for the ride, so plan your day according
to the number of miles and average speed you will travel.
100-mile Loop: If planning to do the full 100-mile loop from
river to river, be on the road between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. This will
ensure ample time to eat lunch and finish by end of day.
Bucks County Loop: Ride a 25- or 50-mile route through Bucks
County from Silverdale, through Bedminster to Tinicum. Start between 8
a.m. and 9
a.m. as SAG will not be on these routes until then.
Montgomery County Loop: Cycle a 25-
or 50-mile route through Montgomery County from Telford through
historic Souderton to Upper Providence Township. Be on the road
at 11 a.m., as SAG support (Support and Gear) will only
be on these routes during the early part of the day.
Many of the historic sites along the heritage corridor, including Pennypacker Mills
in Schwenksville.
Please note: There is not a mass start to
the ride
Cyclists should plan their day accordingly to the number of
miles and average speed at which they will be riding, allowing a
return to Telford in time for the luncheon between 10:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. and keeping in mind the time of SAG support.
Here are some examples:
 |
If you are planning to ride the full century,
you will want to be on the road between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. in
order to ensure ample time to eat lunch and to finish by the
end of the day’s events. |
 |
Cyclists riding only the
Bucks County 25 or 50 mile route will want to be on the
road between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., as SAG support will be on
these routes in the early part of the day. |
 |
Cyclists riding only the
Montgomery County 25
or 50 mile route will want to be on the road no earlier than
11:00 a.m., as SAG will not be on these routes until then. |
 |
If you are planning to ride 75 miles (a
combination of 25 miles on one route and 50 miles on the
other, or vice versa) you should plan your day according to
the Event Schedule, as appropriate |
