Suggested Route for Virtual Participants

Chocolate Tour Will Stone 100 Mile Ride

The "Orange Route" is sponsored by Will Stone & BriovaRx in 2019.

This route is perfect for those who would like to experience the beauty of central Pennsylvania with its picturesque historic towns, wooded areas, rivers, lakes, Amish farms and very diverse agricultural areas.  The course is mostly flat with rolling low grade hills but also has several short climbs, with the toughest being the short climb out of Mt Gretna. This would be considered a moderate-to-advanced course for a weekend cyclist with a total elevation gain of 3,852 ft. over the course. 

The highlights of the ride are riding through the beautiful Lawn Valley to the picturesque wooded Mt Gretna community and then into the beautiful central Pennsylvania Amish farm country with its many rivers, historic towns and farms.  The Amish Farm Country has spectacular views, Amish wagons and diverse farm animals.  This route passes through five famous Lancaster County Covered Bridges, including the famous Erb’s Mill and Hunsecker Mill Covered Bridges.                   The last 35 miles are rolling flat and fast.
