The mass start will be at 8:45 a.m. for those riding 30 miles, escorted by the Wheeling Police Department, with road guards posted at critical intersections. The 10-mile ride is also an escorted ride on the trail and will begin shortly after the mass start. The 100 km (62 miles) ride will leave the trail near the Ohio/Brooke County line for a hilly loop through Bethany and West Liberty with a stop at Bethany College. It is a challenging ride with great SAG support. Lunch will be served between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Heritage Port and there will be entertainment from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., so returning riders can sit under the shade trees or tents and relax. Snack/water stops will keep riders hydrated: 3 on the 100 km ride and 2 on the 30-mile ride. Same-day registrations are welcome but it helps us if you register early. Every participant is required to wear a helmet. Entrants under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. We ride rain or shine! For further information call Quick Service Bicycle Shop at 740-635-3700 or email tour@quickservicecycle.com.

Money raised by this event supports expansion and care for the Wheeling Heritage Trail. We hope you enjoy it!
