Starting this week the beginner/novice/intro ride will start at the Circleville Park in Patton Township lot off of Valley Vista/Bachman Lane. The date and time remain the same, at 6pm each Thursday.

The easiest way to get there if you don't know your way around very well is to go North on North Atherton Street and turn left on Valley Vista Drive. After about 1.7 miles, turn right onto Bachman Lane, which turns into Circleville Road. The park will be on your right in about 1.0 miles.

This terrain is a little more tame than the Tussey area and beginner friendly. As usual we try to meet a few minutes early to get any issues/discussions/bike prep out of the way.

We may switch to different areas as the season progresses to see some different trails and adjust to what people want. Keep in touch by checking this site and the ride forum.

The ride leading/sweeping volunteers have been great and everyone seems to be having a great time so far.

Since we are switching to the Circleville area people who know it well would be awesome to have along.

Please pass the word on this Beginner Ride to anyone you know who might be interested.

Hope to see you out there!

As all but people recent to State College, I lived there for about ten years. The whole time I was there, many folks can attest to my stating “I am getting out of here soon.” Well finally I did move to DC in July 2007.
