Apple Castle Ride

This ride is a favorite for casual and experienced cyclists alike; because the scenery is beautiful, and you get to visit the Apple Castle! Bikers will wind through a combination of mostly paved roads (with about a mile and one-half of hard-packed dirt roads) past many quaint Amish farms. You will have a stop at the famous Apple Castle (our mother lode for donuts) before returning to the Westminster College field house where, if you’re up for it, you might take on a more challenging ride. If you have done this ride in the past, you will notice some changes; namely that you will ride fewer miles on the busy highway so that you may enjoy more country scenery.
