Great food awaits you at our foodstops, including fruit, homemade baked goods, ice-cold drinks and an old-fashioned cookout at the lunch stop, which all riders will visit. We’ll also show you the way to Young’s Jersey Dairy, where hungry goats and other farm animals await children’s attention and fabulous ice cream lures everybody inside. Professional route markings plus full maps will ensure that you don’t get lost, and our friendly sag service will be available should you suffer a mechanical or physical mishap.
