Valentown- Yellow Mills

This ride originally started from Eastview Mall (1981). The start then moved across the street to High St Extension. But continued development has moved the start north to Egypt Park. It retains 90% of the original route and all of the hills (which are rolling to moderate). What's added is a short run on the old Trolley trail. Not to worry, it's hard packed cinder and quite manageable on a road bike. The bigger hills are on Gillis and High streets. Taking the 16 mile cut only means you ride fewer miles before meeting them. There are no places to get food on this ride, so you might want to bring your own and have lunch at the Park. It's quite an historic ride, passing by Valentown museum, the hamlets of Egypt and Pumpkin Hook, the Trolley trail, and several old farms.
