Does anybody have some good routes that start and finish in Hershey? More climbing the better. Looking to get 50 miles in this Friday morning before hitting the amusement park.... Thanks.
Oh man, you are going to be one grumpy dad if you don't get that ride in before heading into the park.
I really like this site for finding rides in places I haven't been to before. I put in hershey, PA start within 10 miles and a bunch popped up. you can view full route info with elevation and even some pictures if any.
Haven't done the Tour de Chocolate, but have done the Chocolate Ride. Different rides, same place.
50 with GF was so well marked, I went back the next week to follow the blazes for 75. We're signed to go again this year. Will try the Tour de Chocolate next year.
Hershey's sponsors Chocolate ride, and there's loads of their products at every rest stop so don't go if you're watching the calories.
I drew up a route from Hershey to the top of Gold Mine. Out and back will get you just over 50 miles. Or find a different way back. If you're "unsatisfied" after getting to the top of Gold Mine just descend the north side and ride back up.
I rode it Friday while the family was at the park and it was AWESOME......first Cat 3 climb ever and it was a blast. Weather,roads, and scenery were great. Saw a couple of riders on the road. Thanks again for the cue sheet...helped so much.....
It was some great weather. I rode 55 miles of gravel in the mountains on Friday followed by a great 3 hr road ride on Saturday.
