We #rideforpie

 

Also known as "the ride for pie" this is one of the region's favorite cycling events known for its unique character and atmosphere.Routes of 16, 25, 50, 62, and 100 miles will leave from Legislative Mall, 410 Legislative Ave., Dover, DE, and wind through central Delaware's peaceful (and flat!) Amish countryside. Featuring unique scenery, friendly volunteers, pie and fun for all. This ride is perfect for your first century!This is not a timed event or race. Motor vehicles are not restricted on the routes of the Amish Country Bike Tour. Follow all rules of the road. Never cross a yellow line, not even to pass. 

To promote safety and relieve congestion, a staggered police escorted start based on distance is scheduled out of Dover:

7:00 am 100 mile riders
7:30 am 62 mile riders
8:00 am 50 mile riders
8:30 am 25 mile riders
9:00 am 16 mile riders

Leaving prior to your designated starting time is not recommended. Staggered start times are designed to reduce road congestion and ensure that rest stops are open at appropriate times.  All participants must have completed their ride by 5 pm.

Up to 5 rest stops are included, depending upon distance: Harvest Ridge Winery (MaryDel), Painted Stave Distillery (Smyrna), Felton Little League (Felton) and Emanuel AME Church (Hartly), depending on distance, but all routes stop at the Amish Schoolhouse (Dover), where you’ll enjoy our famous, fresh, locally-baked pie.

Following the bike tour, everyone returns to Legislative Mall for your catered lunch (included in your ride purchase) from one of our fabulous food trucks and non-alcoholic beverages, adult beverages (with purchased tickets) entertainment with Glass Onion, DJ, merchandise sales and a variety of vendors, All the extra fun (except your piece of pie and ride) is held on Legislative Mall (410 Legislative Ave) in historic downtown Dover, Delaware. Most vendors will accept credit/debit cards and cash.

In case of severe weather or restrictions mandated by local, state or federal government, Bike Delaware volunteers reserve the right to cancel/alter/modify the tour for safety and other concerns.  In any event, we do not refund tour entry or transfer registrations to the following year. All unused rides are considered donations to Bike Delaware, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In the unlikely case a tour is canceled, you may claim your registration fee as a tax-deductible donation. Unfortunately, all expenses have already been incurred prior to the actual event. Should we be forced to cancel or offer deferrals, the financial impact of the event would not be any different than if the event was held in its entirety. Thus, refunding or deferring any entry fees would devastate the financial future of the Amish Country Bike Tour and Bike Delaware.The Amish Country Bike Tour is managed by Bike Delaware volunteers.  Bike Delaware is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that advocates for safe, convenient and fun cycling and walking for everyone.  All funds raised from the Amish Country Bike Tour support Bike Delaware's mission and vision, as well as our community supporting organizations.
