A Team Caffeine Bike Ride
55, 44 or 38 miles

This ride goes to the center of historic Saxonburg. The return includes long pleasant descents on Lardintown Rd and Days Run Rd and a fast, flat finish on Freeport Rd.

Sections on Sun Mine Rd, Lardintown Rd and Days Run Rd are very scenic.

We’ll stop for food and water in Saxonburg and for ice cream at Glen’s Frozen Custard in Springdale.

Most of this ride is not very hilly with a couple good climbs added for variety.
