VELO AMIS PRESENTS: the 4th annual Halloween Victory Tour
All riders get a Velo Amis pint glass and a free beer/non-alcoholic drink and rider gift.
See draft route maps on BikeReg. NOT ROAD BIKE FRIENDLY - do not believe the RideWithGPS surfaces!
REGISTRATION AND EVENT START:
Registration 9 am - 9:50 am
All riders must depart by 10 am
WHERE:
This scenic ride begins and ends at Victory Brewing Company in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania and will highlight a portion of the Enola Low Grade Bike Path.
WHAT:
This ride begins and ends at Victory Brewing Company, and travels through Lancaster and West Chester counties. The routes are almost entirely on rural roads and bike paths. The Enola Low Grade Bike Path is approximately 8 miles from Victory Brewing. The 51.5 mile route has more gravel, hills, and scenic roads, in addition to the Enola Bike Path.
DISTANCES:
Distances are the Halloween Victory Tour XL (approx 51.5M) and the Halloween Victory Tour Lite (approx 32.5M).
Please note: routes are subject to change. Routes are not considered final until they are sent out to pre-registered cyclists following the close of pre-registration. Believe us when we say - PLEASE DO NOT choose a road bike for this event. A gravel bike or mountain bike with a less aggressive tread would be the best choice.
ROUTE AMENITIES:
The LITE route will have 1 aid station at approximately Mile 12.
The XL route will have 2 aid stations at approximately Mile 12 and Mile 30.
Aid stations will be well-stocked with goodies to keep you moving through the route.
The route will be well-marked, however, you are ultimately responsible, so please download maps and cue sheets and GPS files (will be sent to registered riders once online registration closes). We will NOT have Cue Sheets for you at the event, please print your own or download the PDF file of the cue sheet and save paper. The event director may alter the proposed routes due to acts of nature, road closures, and/or local recommendations.
Remember, this is not a RACE. Enjoy a ride taking in the history and culture of Lancaster and West Chester counties with your friends, family, and perhaps new friends you meet along the way. We are riding on routes / bike paths that have many other users.

WHY:
Our friend Dave Troop has been diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to help Dave and Becky with their medical bills. We have also set up a GoFundMe page. Everyone who donates to the GoFundMe will be entered into a random “cycling centric” raffle. We hope that Dave will be able to join us at Victory for the ride.
This year, know that whatever route you ride, you'll be supporting Velo Amis and our Mission. We love the Enola Low Grade Trail and have donated many bike fix-it stations along the trail and have made significant donations to all of the Enola Trail Funds in all townships along the trail. We will continue our support of the Enola Low Grade Bike Trail as well as our support for the Hellbenders PICL Team, Kennet Trail Alliance and others. We hope you enjoy this trail and we will support the trail with donations of more fix-it stations. Please read more about Velo Amis and our Mission and who we Support.
